Expert Answer

For most guys, you want to be careful not to shave too high on the neckline. Instead, stop between your jawline and the first wrinkle in your throat.

Question

If I cut my beard, will it grow faster and thicker?

Community Answer

No. Hair grows faster by letting it grow out. Get the "shaving makes it grow faster" idea out of your head -- it's a myth.

What should I apply after shaving a beard to avoid pimples?

Community Answer

Try a beard oil. Massage it into your beard or onto a clean shaven face.

Question

What if my beard aches after I color it?

Community Answer

Don't color your beard. Even specialized dying products have chemicals in them that are not good for your skin. If you feel you must continue to color it, try a new product.
