Facial Hair Styles: The Short Boxed Beard

Beard Grooming – The Short Boxed Beard

A short boxed beard is similar to a full beard, but has thin, neatly trimmed sides. With the All Purpose Gillette STYLER, you can achieve this look.

The Short Boxed Beard look

There are countless facial hair styles, but this doesn’t mean that trimming a beard will be complicated. Here’s a simple set of steps to get you on your way to the popular short boxed beard style:

Select a Fixed-Length Comb for TrimmingThe right comb length on your trimmer can help you style your look. The All Purpose Gillette STYLER comes with three comb attachments (2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm) for you to choose from.

Select your styler comb length

Trim your facial hairEven out your beard hair length with the trimmer. Trimming hairs before shaving can help reduce tug and pull while shaving, and it can help prevent clogged blades.

Trim your facial hair

Define Your Beard ShapeRemove your trimmer’s comb attachment and trim your beard to define the Short Boxed Beard shape. For the best style results, keep the hair shorter on your neck and cheeks.

Prep Your FaceRinse your face with warm water to help hydrate your hair in preparation for shaving. Then, lather up with shave gel on the parts of your face that you want to shave completely bare, including your neck and cheeks. Using a shave gel can help prevent nicks, cuts, and irritation.
