Facial Hair Styles: The Van Dyke Beard

Beard Grooming – The Van Dyke Beard

A full goatee with a floating moustache – that’s the Van Dyke beard. With the All Purpose Gillette STYLER, you can achieve this look.

The Van Dyke Beard look

Powerful men have worn – and continue to wear it. 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 Van Dyke beard style:

step1

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 (2mm, 4mm, 6mm) for you to choose from.

Select your styler comb length

step2

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 this can help prevent clogged blades.

Trim your facial hair

step3

Define Your Beard Shape Remove your trimmer’s comb attachment and trim your beard to define the Van Dyke Beard shape. For the best style results, keep the hair shorter on your neck and cheeks.

Define the shape

step4

Check for symmetry as you go But be careful not to trim too much off in an effort to look even.

Check for symmetry

step5

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-Van Dyke parts—with a shave gel. Using a shave gel can help prevent nicks, cuts, and irritation.

Prep your face

step6

Shave with Light, Gentle Strokes Attach the razor blades attachment onto your Gillette STYLER handle and shave with light, gentle strokes, to give yourself a close shave. Any Fusion5 blade refill fits with STYLER.

Shave with light, gentle strokes

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.

Rinse your blades

step8

Edge with the Precision Trimmer On the back of all Fusion5 razors is a precision blade; use this to help define the van dyke shape and achieve clean edges.

step9

Rinse, Towel, and Moisturise Rinse off your face with cool water. Towel off, and then apply a hydrating aftershave lotion or balm to help soothe your skin.

Rinse off, towel dry and moisturise

You have just mastered the Van Dyke beard style! With Gillette razors and trimmers, your personal grooming possibilities are endless.

Congratulations
