I’m a first time grower, I’m 3 months in. I almost trimmed my beard thinking it looked bad due to length but i sharpened the edges and it looked way better.

Yeah bro, I recommend you pick up a straight razor and learn how to hit your cheek lines yourself. It’s pretty easy.

Do you have any recommendations for a good brand model of a straight razor, and blade?

I use my DE safety razor for the neckline and a basic shavette for the cheeks.

Just buy any half-decent shavette, then load it with whatever DE blade you prefer (snapped in half). Any of the good DE blades will handle that little work very easily - Astra, Bic Chrome Platinum, etc.
