Having had a mustache most of my life, if you make a mistake trimming, stop and wait for it to grow out. Chasing the perfect match is an exercise in futility.
Until I saw the final panel I thought he was going to leave a Charlie Chaplin type mustache. What a shame one guy (not Chaplin) ruined that style for everyone else.
My greatest sin of the 70’s was having a half inch gap between my scalp hair and my beard hair, so I never could grow sideburns. And somehow I lived to tell that tale.

Well, it would probably be a lot easier without the GLASSES!

Is Monty rabid?

Guess Monty doesn’t realize that each ear is a little different on where they are on the side of the head.

Don’t mention the nose hair, good grief.

My reference point when shaving for sideburns is the tragus.

Sideburns are easy compared to trying to have the underside of the neck even if you have a beard.

Monty! I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!

Been there. Done that. Had to use the scryptic pencil afterward.

Getting even is never a good plan.

If your eyeglasses are tilted, you’ll never get your sideburns even.

I did that one day. Ended up shaving it all off. Been bald ever since.

Unless you have super-bushy sideburns like Isaac Asimov’s, nobody will be able to see both sides of your face at once anyway.

This is why I wear my glasses when I trim my beard, best reference point I can think of.
