What way would you suggest James? (I go clean shaven most of the time)
I'm glad you asked.
the goatee is good.. it’s a good look. but what you want to do is let it grow naturally.. and simply trim odd/stray hairs from the lower portion/chin area… clean it up but keep the natural line of growth at it grows on your face.
you do not want to trim your upper lip the way you do.. for a host of reasons I don’t have time to go into now.
instead let it grow in naturally.. the trick with the upper lip is to keep the hair from concealing the corners of your mouth. do you understand? You do not want to obstruct the line your lips form.. or the appearance of width that your mouth creates.. for several reasons.. again I do not have time to into.
also trim it very short as the hair approaches your nostril.. do you know what I mean? With in reason… just hit it right underneath the nostril.
these principles.. if applied correctly.. will increase ones attractiveness. a persons beauty.
