Personally I like a well defined beard. Neck and cheek lines look good if done properly. To each his own.

The only thing I have done in my absolutely limited
growing experience is trim a few straggling lone hairs
well above what I would consider my `cheek line'.

My cheek hair is pretty weak, so there's not much
going on, but the stragglers are up near my cheek
bone and really don't belong so I have just shaved
those off without going near the other hairs.

I couldn't agree more, Chikin, all one can do is to indicate general guidelines and leave the individual to accept or adapt them to his own taste. Hardly rocket science.

Keep growing. Stay bearded!

It really looks to be a matter of opinion. Wulff, I went with your advice, and between the cheek line and the neck line, it's looking more defined than ever! But, it is all a matter of what feels right to the wearer!

No need for the embarrasment, you're free to your opinion!

I choose to shave the cheeks completely because the growth is in patches, and very random ones at that. So...

In case you haven't noticed, margus, a lot of guys - including yourself - come to this board asking for advice and opinions about their beards. What's more you yourself are not above giving advice and opinions to others. I don't try to rubbish your posts, nor should you, in all politeness, rubbish mine.

It's not too difficult to see where your cheekline might be placed, Chikin, because you have a very distinct "outcrop" of hairs on the front part of your upper cheeks. If you establish a line running roughly from the top of your sideburn to the corner of your mouth - not of course cutting into the connector - you should be OK. I'll do a photoshop job for you later in the day if I have the time.

Keep growing. Stay bearded!

Regarding a cheekline, it all depends on where your natural cheekline lies and whether it is naturally clean-cut or has sparse hairs above it. If you are lucky enough to have a well defined natural cheekline, then it is probably best to leave it as it is. However, if it is less well defined, then it is a matter of personal taste as to how much you want to lower it....

Carving the Cheek Line

There may have been an earlier thread about this, but in a search, I could not find it.
Most sites and instructions recommend trying not to futz with the cheekline too much; that letting the natural growth occur would be best. I, for one, have noticed a sparce outcropping of hairs creeping up my cheek in a way that makes the beard funky. I looked all over, and there are little to no tips on carving one's cheekline. Who here does this, and how do they manage not to mess it up?
