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. Almost in the shape of 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 a 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.
