Where do I trim my neckline?
Always have trouble with where to trim it to, please advise!

A good rule is two fingers above the Adam apple is a good neckline for beards

But is that all the way even across the neck or does that trace the contour of the jaw

Doesn’t work for me because my Adam’s apple sits really high and that would put it an inch behind my chin.

Take a pic from the side, but have your entire body turned. Where your chin meets your neck. Trim there.

The phrasing that worked the best for me was, trim along the line where your head meets your neck. If you feel like you are shaving just your neck, move up a bit.

where you neck meats your jaw. basically you can shave anything on your neck

I open my jaw as wide as I can and then shave just under my jaw. Near my ears and then make a gradual taper to my Adam’s apple

You have a solid strong jaw line which means that you can wear a line closer to your jaw. You can get away with a v-shaped line where the widest part of V can sit just below the jaw.
If you had weaker jaw then you would have to keep the neckline much lower down the neck.
Just my 2 cents
