The rear boundary of a beard can follow a relatively vertical line beside the ear or angle forwards towards the jaw. That choice changes the amount of visible beard behind the cheek. It should be considered separately from the lower neckline.

Before a hot towel shave, ask your barber to show the proposed rear edge from the side. Explain whether you prefer a broad cheek section or a more compact outline. If your reference is only a front image, this boundary may not be visible at all. For a Sydney CBD shave consultation, adding a side view helps make the retained beard shape clear before the surrounding area is removed.
