While fourdifferent edges 18A-18D are shown, it should not be seen in a limiting manner. - In accordance with one embodiment, the
edge 18A may be an inner rounded cutting edge. The innerrounded cutting edge 18A may be used to groom a user's facial hair to have an inner rounded shape. Thus, for example, the innerrounded cutting edges 18A may be used to form an inner rounded hairline shape from a sideburn area all the way down to a chin area of the user as shown inFIG. 7 . The above is given as an example. The innerrounded cutting edges 18A may be used to form an inner rounded hairline shape in any area desired by the user. - In the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , theedge 18B may be an outerrounded cutting edge 18B. The outerrounded cutting edge 18B may be used to groom a user's facial hair to have an outer rounded curve shape. For example, the outerrounded cutting edge 18B may be used to groom a user's mustache such as the upper and lower areas of the mustache. The above is given as an example. The outerrounded cutting edge 18B may be used in any area where an outer rounded curve shape is desired. - In the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the edge 18C may be an approximately straight cutting edge 18C. The approximately straight cutting edge 18C may be used to groom a user's facial hair to have approximately straight edges. For example, the approximately straight cutting edge 18C may be used to groom a user's a sideburn area or any other areas where an approximately straight edge may be desired. - In the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the edge 18D may be an approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 18D. The approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 18C may be used to groom a user's facial hair to have approximately straight edges with rounded corners such as the end of a mustache. The above is given as an example. The approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 18D may be used in any area where this hairline shape is desired. - Referring now to

For example, the approximately straight cutting edge 20C may be used to groom a user's a sideburn area or any other areas where an approximately straight edge may be desired. - In the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 3 , the edge 20D may be an approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 20D. The approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 18D is similar to the approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 18D shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . However, the approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 20D has a wider arc than the straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 18D. The approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 20D may be used to groom a user's facial hair to have approximately straight edges with rounded corners such as the end of a mustache. The above is given as an example. The approximately straight cutting edge having a rounded corner 20D may be used in any area where this hairline shape is desired. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1 and 4 , a third template 12C is shown. The third template 12C is of a size to allow one to hold the third template 12C while using the third template 12C to form different hair line curves.

Thus, for example, the innerrounded cutting edges 22A may be used to form an inner rounded hairline shape from a sideburn area all the way down to a chin area of the user. The above is given as an example. The innerrounded cutting edges 22A may be used to form an inner rounded hairline shape in any area desired by the user. - In the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , theedges 22B-22D may be approximately straight cutting edges 22B-22D. The approximately straight cuttingedges 22B-22D is similar to the approximately straight cutting edge 18C shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . The approximately straight cuttingedges 22B-22D may be used to groom a user's facial hair to have approximately straight edges as previously disclosed. - In the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , the body section 16C of the third template 12C may have one ormore cutouts 24. Thecutouts 24 may come in different shapes and sizes. In general, thecutouts 24 may be circular or oval in shape. However, other shapes and designs may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thecutouts 24 may be used to groom and form different patterns. For example, the cutouts may be used to groom an area below a user's lip and above the chin area. The above is given as an example. Thecutouts 24 may be used in any area where the pattern of thecutout 24 is desired. - The
grooming device 10 is a hand held-men's facial grooming device. It may be used as a guide while shaving to shape beards, mustaches, goatees and even sideburns into a myriad of styles.
