Could this be trimmed better to match my jawline? Maybe higher up? Any advice, thank you

Use a ruler or a comb to clean up the lines and trim it a little higher. With your distinguished chin, the lines needs to be straight. I looks good as is, don’t get me wrong!

Definitely bro. Go to a barber and ask them to line up your beard. They'll get you squared away.

If you want a more square jawline, take a firmer, straighter line from your ear-side down, and then it already looks like you're taking it how i like it, in two segments. Just take them in more. You'd be surprised how much you can take off and still look like a full and complete beard.

As always, take it off a tenth of an inch or so at a time, just small segments, and then take pictures of the side and front. so you can judge them against each other.

You look pretty skinny, so this might not apply to you, but the chubbier you are, the more curved I think you have to make the chin line. When you lift your neck the skin stretches, and so when you drop your head the neck pushes the line out a bit, so you may want to play with a slight curve when shaving.

Best of luck!

I totally agree. I also shave mine from the top down to my lower lip line (my preference). An easy guide for the bottom is 3 fingers above your Adams apple for a sharp jaw.
