A beard can have clear jaw corners while the chin remains rounded. Squaring the sides does not require turning the centre into a point or a flat horizontal base. These outline decisions can be discussed separately before the shave begins.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask your barber to indicate the corners you want defined and the curve you want retained at the front. Check how the two meet in a three-quarter view, where both features are visible together. For a hot towel shave in Sydney CBD, this gives a more precise instruction than requesting a sharper beard overall. It lets the barber refine particular boundaries while preserving the softer central shape you prefer.
