Shaving a Beard : Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:31 pm  

i know it sounds daft but how do i shave my beard off.

I have been off work with depression for 4 weeks and am due to return to work but i have not shaved for 5 weeks.
I have a full beard and have normally being clean shaven previously.
Any tips on how to get some lengthy fur off my face ( i have had all the jokes about using petrol and a match so sensible suggestions only !).

Scissors or sheers that they use in hair dressers? An easy option would be to go to a barber's and ask them to do it.

Use a beard trimmer to get it down to stubble, than shave as normal.
That's what I do.

If you're gonna shave your beard, you'd better be prepared to go to Hell.

That is probably the only sensible suggestion you have ever made on these boards

And probably a pleasantly relaxing one too.
