Technically, Cody, you don't shave sideburns. Sideburns are trimmed. Faces are shaved.  |

then those aren't sideburns, they're the sides of a beard. weird huh? but I guess it all really matters where it's connected, at the chin, or at the hair... ?? Me? whenever I shave, I brush my hair behind my ears and shave all the way up to where my sideburns WOULD be... so I disagree with Ron. |

If YOU like them then don't shave them off. It's only a dilemna when you are forced by others' opinions to change something you don't want changed. *s |

How bout a compromise...if you dont feel comfortable or are unsure how you will look without them ... then why not just try reshaping them ... trim/shave them so that they are thinner, you can leave them longer or take a little off the length. On a rounder shaped face a thinner longer sideburn will have a slimming effect. That way you can get used to the change gradually if so needed. My dad had "greaser" 50's sideburns for years..they became his trademark.. Be yourself. |

Why don't you just go all out and let it alone, and maybe get a goatee while you're at it [get hard slap at the back of my head] ..I mean trim it! Shave it!! [gets nod of approval from a VERY blonde friend and gets another smack for the comment] |

To trim, or not to trim: that is the question. Or is it that to trim or not to trim is not the question, but in fact is but a plea, to gaze upon and ponder this, doth trim suppose a alteration, delineation, or simply put, but just a trim. What implications doth arise in answer to a question put, or question not, if but a ponder? I know not, and so I squander precious space as through here wander, and answer not the question pondered, as I know not of what I speak. |

nice chops man. Mine are abotu that big only really long and curly. I say keep em. cause lets face it...chops are The only difference between the creative and the conformists is that the creative will not be conquered and the conformists already are.

I like a man with sideburns that go to the middle of the ear or a little longer. Cut the extra and then grow a moustache. I think a man looks dignified w/a moustache. |

Bring 'em in a little closer to your ears... they go too far out into your cheeks. But I do like chops. |

Shave man, shave 'em. I've grown my hair out these last few months, to where I can suck on it with my mouth (not that I do, though.) I love having the long hair, and I, too, like Brian, shave up to where my 'burns would be. I like gottees (sp), but think men generally look better with shaved 'burns. ~Titus  The few. The proud. The Marines. |
