The moustache is styled separately, so the skin between it and the beard has to stay properly bare.

Will it suit your face?
Where a style puts weight, and where it takes it away, is what decides whether it suits you. The table below is the short version.
| Ovale | Ideal | Takes almost any length and shape without fighting the proportions. |
|---|---|---|
| Rond | Avoid | Adds width where there is already width. A chin-led style suits better. |
| Carré | Works | Round the corners off or it doubles up on a jaw that is already strong. |
| Oblong | Ideal | Width at the cheeks shortens the face. Keep the chin short, not pointed. |
| Heart | Works | Weight low balances a wide forehead, so long as the cheeks stay tidy. |
| Diamant | Ideal | Fills the narrow jaw and squares off the lower face. |
How to cut one, in four steps
- Grow it out6 to 10 weeks. Cutting into a beard that has not filled in leaves holes you then have to grow out again.
- Set the lengthStart on a longer guard than you think you need and work down. You cannot put it back.
- Set the necklineTwo fingers above the Adam's apple, curving up to behind the jaw. Higher than that and you lose the jawline.
- Tidy the cheeksFollow your natural cheek line rather than inventing a straight one. Take off anything above it.
