a longer beard. This is how you can truly stlye your beard based on different
lengths and shapes.
1 Adjust the comb to your selected grade.
2 Grade settings and the respective trimming lengths the beard kit offers can
be seen in the table. You will either need to use the short length adjustable
comb or the XL adjustable comb depending on the grade you require. If you
don’t know, you can start at a longer trimming setting and work up towards
your hairline, lowering the grade number as you go.

3 Beard hairs sit on your face much lower than at the root compared to stubble.
Therefore, use a comb to lift up the hair you want to remove and identify
where the root is. This section of hair should be located at the middle of your
ear (see fig. 1).

through. Go over a couple of times.
5 Now it’s time to blend. Lower the grade setting on your trimmer to move onto
the next higher section of hair (eg. grade 4 to 3). Go slightly higher than
previous section working upwards (see fig. 2). Again, place hair into the comb
and run the clipper through.
6 Repeat process (eg. grade 3 to 2) - this is fading. Keep moving the process
upwards until you match the grade number on the sides of your head (fig. 3).
7 Trim any protruding hairs with the enclosed scissors.
