How do I groom this GD beard?

So I didn't shave for a couple of weeks because I'm basically a lazy bastard. (Being a lazy bastard serves me well in my chosen profession; we can discuss why in another thread if you wish.)

While trimming the resultant grunge, I gave in to a whim and left the bit around my mouth region.

So. Can I get a nice little Van Dyke without major upkeep?

I like the looks of this one:

Yeah, yeah, call me a geek. I do like the nicely sinister look this one has, though. Even without the eyebrows, which I'm not sure I could pull off. I mean, I could get 'em to look like that, but my Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator is being repaired right now so how would I punish anyone making fun of the brows?

So, can I get that look without having to pluck? Plucking sucks. Hurts like, well, you know.

I think you should wear that very outfit this weekend to ACL.

All the chicks will be grooving on you.

That kind of beard is a pain in the ass to keep trimmed and neat-looking. I had a regular beard for a long time and the maintenance of it was more trouble than it was worth. With this kind of beard, you'd need to be able to keep all the lines contoured just so, and getting that little open space under each side of your mouth will also be a chore that will wear thin quickly. It looks to me like you are in for even more work than just shaving every day with that.

I'm about an 8 on a scale of 1-10 in laziness though, so please take that into consideration.

My husband has had that beard for years, it doesn't seem to be a problem for him. I'll ask if he has any tips. DD you might want to have barber do a professional shaping to start you out and then you just keep up the line work.
