cheek hair

[phil-b]

What do most guys do you do with cheek hair that grows above the beard line.

Do you shave it of?

Do you shave it of with every shave?

Or do you do something else

It gets shaved with the rest.

I feel 3 pass on that area is a bit over kill and leaves that area feeling it had to much skin has been taken off. I might just try one pass on that area next time and wait to see if it needs a touch up at the end.

Good newbie question thank.

I was just worried if I shaved it too much it would encourage more and thicker growth. Or is that a myth

I think thats a myth. If it was true then I wouldn't be so bald.

Off it comes along with the rest, although only one pass is needed

Shave em off. Just a pass on the scrag ends.

Total and utter poppycock, as Mark mentioned earlier.

This. No mercy.

Trimmed in one pass as needed...even shaved the ear lobes for the first time the other week. It's reached that stage in life?!

If you're speaking of tufts of hair growing approximately in the area of your cheekbones, you could let them grow. In that case, you will be perpetuating a long-deprecated facial hair trend, which was fashionable in some Royal Navy and other mainly maritime circles; largely, but with a few exceptions, before the Second World War.

These were commonly known as "Bugger's Grips", and I leave the origins of that to your imagination.
