A short back story.
I set myself a goal December 2010 to grow a full year of beard (yeard?), still trimming the mustache though. The picture below is after aprox. 10 months of growth i think. I did grow the whole 12 months, however, come a weak moment where i though "well i've done what i set out to do." and shaved it off.
I now of course regret that. Anyways, as you can see from the picture below the beard was kind of.. ehm... wide?/bushy?/long? on the sides/cheeks. (abit too much for my liking.)
I'm really just looking for some advice on how to trim or keep it shorter on the cheeks, yet still quite long under the chin.. I'm afraid that the transition from the trimmed cheeks to the longer beard under the chin/jawbone will look awkward/unnatural.
