How to trim your chest hair evenly
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerUse a trimmer with a guard rather than a razor, trim downwards in long strokes, keep the same guard across the whole chest, and blend edges into the shoulders and stomach with a slightly longer guard.
Steps
- Dry hair, trimmer with a medium guard.
- Long downward strokes.
- Same guard all over.
- Blend edges with a longer guard.
Avoid
- Shaving to bare skin unless you want to; regrowth itches.
- Pressing hard.
Check
A mirror plus a photo from a step back shows patchy areas.
Questions
How often?
