A beard trimming template is provided comprising a first elongated portion formed from a first straight edge having a first length, a and a second straight edge having a second length, the first and second straight edges positioned parallel to each other. A second elongated portion having a third straight edge and a fourth straight edge, the third and fourth straight edges positioned parallel to each other.

A main body is formed by a radius bridging ends of the second and third straight edges proximal to the main body, and an apex, opposite the radius, formed by ends of the first and fourth straight edges proximal to the main body joining at a right angle. The first and second straight edges are connected via a fifth straight edge forming a first width edge between the first and second straight edges and the third and fourth straight edges are connected via a sixth straight edge forming a second width edge, and wherein the first and second width edges are equal in dimension and are distal to the main body.

A multi-linear beard shaping template include a nose guide edge, a curved-cut edge, a first jawline edge, a comb section, a second jawline edge, and a step-cut edge. The curved-cut edge that enables a curved beard cut is terminally connected to the nose guide edge. The step-cut edge that enables a step beard cut is terminally connected to the nose guide edge, opposite of the curved-cut edge. The first jawline edge is terminally connected to the curved-cut edge, opposite of the nose guide edge. The second jawline edge is terminally connected to the step-cut edge, opposite of the nose guide edge. The first and second jawline edges and the nose guide provide symmetricity for different types of beard cuts. The comb section is terminally connected to the first jawline edge and the second jawline edge as the comb section and the nose guide are oriented opposite of each other.
