How to Do a Musketeer Beard Goatee
You don’t need sword skills to pull off the Musketeer Beard, but knowing how to handle a Wahl trimmer helps. This style is sharp and something you don’t have to fight with to maintain.
How to Do the Musketeer Beard Goatee Step-by-Step
-
1
Let a small patch of hair on the chin grow. The shape should be similar to a bandage you’d place horizontally across it.
-
2
Use your Wahl trimmer or Wahl shaver to cleanly shave your cheeks, jawline and upper parts of the chin.
-
3
Let the mustache grow 1 to 2 weeks, or until it reaches medium thickness. Keep it trimmed at the corners of the mouth.
-
4
Shave every couple of days to remove stubble in the areas that are meant to be clean-shaven.
