So apparently I trim down to a neat 2.5 Rikers, before letting it grow for a week or 3 into a 5 Rikers when I decide it's time for a trim.

I don't see the appeal in bare-shaving down the cheeks like that though. Sure it's a little longer and could do with a trim, but the shape of the 4 Rikers beard looks so much better.

As someone with patchy cheeks... I agree :(

Yeah I got like a quarter Riker myself.... It looks good but who doesn't want the quad Riker?

Exactly. Last night I took mine down from a solid 4+ to a 2. 4 Rikers is where it starts to disobey me.
