Beard Grooming – The Mutton Chops Beard
Facial Hair Styles: The Mutton Chops Beard
Old-time hair styles are making a comeback. They’re not just trendy, they’re classic. The mutton chops beard is one of these classic style and features long sideburns that connect to a mustache. If you’ve never donned this masculine look, we can help you craft it. With the King C. Gillette Beard Trimmer, Neck Razor and Double Edge Safety Razor, you can achieve this look easily.
How to Get The Mutton Chops 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 mutton chops beard style:
Select a Fixed-Length Comb for Trimming
The right comb length on your trimmer can help you style your look. The King C. Gillette Beard Trimmer Kit comes with three comb attachments for you to choose from: stubble 1 millimeter, short 3-11 millimeters, and long 13-21 millimeters. If you’re not sure how long you want your hair to be, start with the longest trimmer attachment and work your way down till you’ve found the length that works best for you.
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. Go slow and steady – a good trim shouldn’t be rushed.
Define Your Beard Shape
Remove your trimmer’s comb attachment and trim your beard to define the Mutton Chops beard shape. For the best style results, keep the hair shorter on your neck and cheeks. Again, the final product is up to you. Feel free to experiment as long as you keep the basic ingredients for a mutton chops look in mind.
Check For Symmetry as You Go
But be careful not to trim too much off in an effort to look even. As mentioned earlier, it’s best to start long and work your way down. That way you don’t accidently trim off more hair than you need and end up with a different look altogether.
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-mutton chops parts—with a shave gel. Using a shave gel can help prevent nicks, cuts, and irritation. The King C. Gillette Transparent Shave Gel is perfect for protecting your skin and getting an accurate shave. It is a foam-less, clear gel that lets you see exactly where you’re shaving.
Shave with Light, Gentle Strokes
Use the King C. Gillette Neck Razor and shave with light, gentle strokes to give yourself a close shave. The built-in Precision Trimmer makes it easy to work around tight corners.
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.
Edge Your Beard
The Double Edge Safety Razor’s single blade is designed for edging sideburns and strong beard lines to help you achieve your perfect look. Carefully work around the edges of your facial hair to create those clean lines. Make sure to use fresh blades as dull ones can impact your results and lead to more skin irritation.
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.
You have just mastered the Mutton Chops beard style!
Great work! Your mutton chops are ready to face the world. With Gillette razors and trimmers, your personal grooming possibilities are endless.
