7 Ways To Shave & Style A Mustache | GQ

[@Lerotron]

I loved the fact he emphasized that different stashes are for different people and that everyone should find what suits them. Sometimes men can be a bit envious of other men's facial hair, but truth is - each to their own. And this video really nicely touches upon that. Thank you for showing this.

[@tomik6537]

True. But it could be said the mustache is the easiest to grow, so if you can't grow a beard you grow that. and that's sad

Really digged this as someone that has a disconnected stache. I liked how thorough the explanations were, but also showed variants to demonstrate there's not just one way to a specific style.

[@carboncopy0]

That dude at the end was really digging his pencil mustache

[@brokenbutterfly3178]

The dude is really handsome too. Esthetically wise, he's got nice facial features. Plus, a full head of hair. I bet he'd look great even going bald.

How many times has this man sacrificed his beard

[@vatsalsanwaria537]

Not this time

[@ibrahimExperince]

less than he sacrificed others

[@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844]

Once. He still had his facial hair throughout this whole video. He only sacrificed his beard once, in an earlier video, because he couldn’t cope with his pencil mustache

[@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844]

I wouldn’t call trying out a new style “sacrificing your beard”. He still has a beard, it’s just a different style.

I've never been exposed to any kind of professional facial hair shaping technique or advice whatsoever and I feel validated that my choice of shaving my Stache to an extended pencil w/ imperial for my round face and low growth was indeed the correct choice to make.

I was growing beard for last 5 years. And last evening, i decided to shave it. Reason, i was poor in shaping it myself and lost faith in last 6 barbers i've tried. Where are you based? I will grow the beard back and coming to you for shaping! You are so inspiring.

Questions: 1) what style do you recommend for a guy with a narrow face but can still grow a full beard that connects to the mustache? 2) what system to you put in place to insure that your beard lines appear as symmetrical as possible? They can easily fall out of symmetry. Thanks I’m advance! Great video! And Happy New Year!! 🎊

You know the trick where you pull your cheek and cut a straight line and when you relax it you get a perfect curve well i taught my barber that trick cos i used to just shape up myself and when i said to her i want a curved cheekline i explained that technique and she was actually surprised by the results

hey, this was legit a cool video. I randomly dropped here, but it really inspired me to go and trim my stache/beard. I had what Jason had before the shave and went for the anchored stache. though my moustache is a bit thinner. thanks for the inspiration! been inside the house for months and this video really inspired me to want to have a clean look again. think i'll visit the barber this week.

[@TheSingingCelebrant]

I like what you did on your own facial hair. However, I like a defined space between the Moustache and the Beard lines - so a small skin space between the corners of the Mouth. It can make the moustache stand out without being tooooo stand out - if that makes sense. Thank you for making time to share your talent

[@EcchiGamingYT]

Yeah. A pencil mustache is particularly difficult to trim yourself. I used to give myself one to go along with my goatee (not a really thin one like Clark Gable's, more like the one shown in this video at the end), but I usually messed it up in some way, so I just stopped trying and now leave it natural height, which looks a bit scruffy in my opinion. I've noticed that a lot of East Asian men basically have natural pencil mustaches and I envy that.

[@doomedrpgproject4473]

@@EcchiGamingYT I've worn one for four years and the best trick I've found to maintaining the shape is to dip the tip of a dark colouring pencil in water and draw over the moustache hair to create a symmetrical guide. It's almost impossible to mess up then. The pencil ink washes off easily afterwards.
