Think twice if: Oblong Face

Drag the slider: clean shaven to styled

The chin strap draws the jawline in hair: a band that runs from one sideburn, around the chin, up to the other, with the cheeks shaved clean. It is jaw definition in its purest form, and it lives or dies by the precision of its two edges. Worn narrow it is sharp and architectural; worn wider it drifts toward a short beard with high cheeks. It demands more upkeep than styles twice its size.

Who does it suit?

Made for round and heart faces that want a jaw. Skip it on long faces, and skip it if you cannot commit to edging it several times a week.

How to maintain it

Edge both lines every two days with a detail trimmer. One slip changes the style, so cut conservatively and correct slowly.
