How to Trim a Horseshoe Mustache

It varies. For the best results, give it three to six months to grow a full beard that’s thick and dense. Facial hair typically grows half an inch per month but it’s worth the wait. Then you’ll shave off your goatee, soul patch and mutton chops to reveal your glorious Horseshoe Mustache.

Admittedly, this mustache may be a bold choice for a first timer, but with the right tools and taking your time to sculpt and define it, you’ll find it relatively easy compared to other trending mustache styles. The other piece of good news is that this style can be achieved with thick bushy hair, or thinner, longer hair. No two Horseshoe Mustaches are the same.

So, you’re loving your new pirate-biker-wrestling Horseshoe Mustache and want to keep it looking sharp? The key: shave the rest of your face (or beard) as usual and only trim around your mustache a few times weekly to maintain its sharp lines.

#1 must be retired professional wrestler Hulk Hogan, whose Horseshoe Mustache has been a trademark of his career. Another good example would be Ben Stiller in the classic Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. John Travolta is another beardsman to watch. His masterpiece Horseshoe is well worth a search online because it bridges masculine thick and bushy with sensitive long and thin style. The key: try the Horseshoe Mustache and be famous for making it your own.
