The Van Dyke.
Start clean shaven and wait for your hair to grow out.
Trim your newly grown beard into a circle beard (see below) and rinse off all residue of shaving cream or excess hair.
Use a cut throat or electric razor to create a goatee by shaving your neck carefully.
Using scissors and a razor disconnect your moustache from your beard and trim to the desired length.
To create the pointed hair effect use good quality wax. Make sure you keep this look maintained as it is high maintenance.
The Clean Jaw.
Keeping a clean jaw is hard work and those with sensitive skin should think carefully about whether they want to risk the upkeep.
Press a warm flannel to the area to open up your pores and trim with an electric razor.
Start with the razor at a long setting and work your way down to shorter lengths.
Feel for the spot under your jawbone where the skin is soft and push at this; this is the spot where you want to create your natural edge for your neckline.
Apply cold water after shaving.
