[BlindTlk] Managing a beard as a blind person

[Humberto Avila]

Hello, Jim,

This is a great question......

Fortunately I don't really deal with this problem of outgrowing a beard, because I shave it off about two or three times a week. As in, clean shave. I don't like to have a grown out beard myself. I too, use ay an electronic machine for this purpose, and when that doesn't work, I use one of those machines that barbers use to trim neckline hair. Works particularly if my beard grows more than I want it.

 Good luck.

Have an awesome day!

Humberto

For people with eczema growing beards is better since the shaving however
done is tough on the skin of the face.  Be tough on the skin of the face
then eczema will sooner or later also attack that skin.  On Sun, 14 Jun

I have  used a trimmer in the past and it worked pretty well.  I also have trimmed using scissors, I just pull (stretch) hairs out from my face, and find sections that are longer, then I trim them off.  This takes a little nerve until you are used to doing it, but it can work.

p.s.  The trimmer is probably your best bet.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope I can find some
good answers to this question which might sound
awkward. I???ve had a beard for a few years, but
it???s generally been pretty short and well
trimmed because I get it done when I get my hair
cut.  Now that the pandemic hit, things are
changing for a while in how hair cutting places
around here do business.  No beards or facial
hair for a while. So, I???m wondering if I can
successfully trim and manage a beard as a
totally blind guy.  I have an electric shaver,
and I also kept things up with a regular one,
but now it???s grown out and is beyond just a
regular shave.  From what I???ve been told, it
looks good and definitely full, but it could use
some touching up. What are some good techniques
you use, and what equipment do you get?  I was
thinking of getting one of those trimmers with
the various length spacers and whatever else is
included with the kit. I???d appreciate any help
or ideas, because I don???t want to have to wait
until a barber can do it. Who knows when that
will happen around here? Jim Sent from my iPhone XR!
