Pencil Beard
If you’re ready to leave your mark on the world, the Pencil Beard may be the style for you. It’s a modern, youthful style named for its sharply defined lines, combining elements of the Chinstrap and Circle beards.
Make it Yours
- 1
Grow your beard for a week or two, or until you reach a consistent growth. Then, using your Wahl® trimmer, crop the entire beard down to a quarter inch.
- 2
With the trimmer, carve downwards along your sideburns. Continue outlining along the jawbone and around the circle beard.
- 3
Define the shape of your pencil beard by trimming around the guidelines you carved.
- 4
Check for symmetry and tighten lines with the edge of your Wahl® trimmer. As a general rule, the Pencil Beard should maintain the width of your sideburn.
- 5
Using your shaver, give the rest of your face and neck a close shave to emphasize the precision of the Pencil Beard.
