Ok I managed to upload a picture to the website. Not sure how to make it visible here

I use shaving my beard too, to improve my facial harmony excactly in the same way! I made a picture of how I shave my beard. I photoshopped the picture to draw how i shave my beard
Positive sides:
- Creates a more defined chin shape
- Creates a more defined jawshape
- Gives your head a more square appearance (good!)
- Makes your lower third appear bigger from most perspectives
Possible problems:
- creating the optimal and natural looking shape "jaw line"might not be easy for everyone.
- If your face is very lean/skinny, it might be more visible that the shape of the beard and your jawline are not exactly the same
- If you use the method of leaving certain areas longer or shorter to define the shape of the jaw and chin, it requires more manual work and more creativity
- If your hair is not very dense, you should let the thin areas grow longer than the rest. I use that way because my beard lacks hair on a few areas. It works very well! Shave the edges as sharp as possible if your hair is not dense in all areas. This creates the illusion of a thicker beard, denser beard area. The more undefined the edges are, the thinner the beard will look. You also need stronger defined edges in order to create the shape of the jawline
Tips:
- Always comb the hairs down before shaving
- Use 2 mirrors to see yourself from side perspective. 1 regular big mirror and 1 smaller one you hold in your hand might is a good method that works
