Think twice if: Oblong Face

Drag the slider: clean shaven to styled

The anchor draws its namesake on the face: a strip of beard follows the jawline to a point at the chin, a vertical line climbs to the lower lip, and a moustache floats above. It is the most constructed of the goatee family, closer to calligraphy than to growth. The style demands both decent chin coverage and real patience with a trimmer, and it repays them with a look nobody wears by accident.

Who does it suit?

The pointed base lengthens while the jaw strip widens, a rare double act that suits round, heart and square faces alike. Long faces should skip it.

How to maintain it

Redraw the outline with a detail trimmer every two days and keep the moustache clear of the chin piece. Precision is the whole style.
