How to Trim a Western Mustache

With your Wahl shaver, closely shave everything but the area above your lip.

Let the mustache area grow for at least 2 weeks, or until you have a good amount of hair growth. The look requires bushier whiskers.

As the mustache grows, you also want to use your Wahl trimmer to shape small, 1/2-inch strips of hair that run vertically along the sides of the mouth.

Make sure to create a line of separation between the upper lip and the mustache itself.

Allow hair to grow thick all the way up to the start of the nostrils.
