How to Trim a Western Mustache

What is a Western Mustache?

A nod to the facial hair of many old Western movie actors, this mustache almost resembles the outline of 2 holstered 6-shooters. There’s a new sheriff in town.

How to Trim a Western Mustache Step-by-Step

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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