FACIAL HAIR STYLES: THE ANCHOR BEARD

The anchor beard is a pointed beard that traces the jawline, paired with a mustache. With the All Purpose Gillette STYLER, you can achieve this look.

The Anchor Beard Look

There are countless facial hair styles, but this doesn’t mean that trimming a beard will be complicated. Here’s a simple set of steps to get you on your way to the popular anchor beard style:

Step 1

Step 1: Select a Fixed-Length Comb for Trimming

The right comb length on your trimmer can help you style your look. The All Purpose Gillette STYLER comes with three comb attachments (2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm) for you to choose from.
Step 2

Step 2: Trim Your Facial Hair

Even out your beard hair length with the trimmer. Trimming hairs before shaving can help reduce tug and pull while shaving, and it can help prevent clogged blades.
Step 3

Step 3: Define Your Beard Shape

Remove your trimmer’s comb attachment and trim your beard to define the Anchor Beard shape. For the best style results, keep the hair shorter on your neck and cheeks.
Step 4

Step 4: Check for Symmetry as You Go

But be careful not to trim too much off in an effort to look even.
Step 5

Step 5: Prep Your Face

Rinse your face with King C. Gillette Beard and Face Wash and warm water to help hydrate your hair in preparation for shaving. Then, lather up the parts of your face that you want to shave completely bare—the non-anchor parts—with PURE by Gillette® Soothing Shave Gel. Using a shave gel can help prevent nicks, cuts, and irritation.
Step 6

Step 6: Shave with Light, Gentle Strokes

Attach the razor blade onto your Gillette STYLER handle and shave with light, gentle strokes to give yourself a close shave. Any Fusion5 blade refill fits the STYLER.
Step 7

Step 7: Rinse Your Blades Often

Rinsing the blades often throughout your shave helps to prevent buildup of hairs and shaving cream on the blade edges and cartridge; this helps keep your razor performing at its best.
Step 8

Step 8: Edge with the Precision Trimmer

On the back of all Fusion5 razors is a precision blade; use this to help define the anchor shape and achieve clean edges.
Step 9

Step 9: Rinse, Towel, and Moisturize

Rinse off your face with cool water. Towel off, and then apply a moisturizer to help your skin feel soft and comfortable.
