A narrow vertical strip below the lip can have parallel sides, a slight taper or a rounded lower end. Those small differences create distinct outlines. If you are retaining that feature during a shave, explain its shape as well as its size.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask your barber to identify the upper width and the lower endpoint before refining the surrounding clean areas. Check with your face relaxed so the strip is assessed in a consistent position. For a hot towel shave in Sydney CBD, this makes the plan more precise than requesting a small patch without defining its perimeter. Tiny retained sections can be important design choices even when most facial hair is being removed.
