FACIAL HAIR STYLES: THE CHIN STRAP BEARD

The chin strap beard is a beard with no mustache that circles the chin. With the All Purpose Gillette STYLER, you can achieve this look.

The Chin Strap Beard look

There are countless facial hair styles, but that doesn’t mean that trimming this beard will be complicated. Here’s a simple set of steps to get you on your way to the popular chin strap 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 Chin Strap 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 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-chin strap parts—with a 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 All Purpose 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 chin strap 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 hydrating aftershave lotion to help your skin feel soft and comfortable.
