Beard Grooming – The Mutton Chops Beard

Old-time hairstyles are making a comeback; they’re not just on-trend, they’re classic.

The famous mutton chops beard has long sideburns that connect to a moustache. The mutton chops beard history traces its origin back to the 16th century. But this facial hair style made a big comeback in the Victorian era, with some guys still choosing to sport this bold look today – perhaps because it’s a great way to disguise receding hair. With the All Purpose Gillette STYLER, you can achieve this look too.

The Mutton Chops 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 famous mutton chops beard style:

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

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: Define Your Beard Shape

Remove your trimmer’s comb attachment and trim your beard to define the long or short mutton chops beard style. For the best style results, keep the hair shorter on your neck and cheeks.

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: Prep Your Face

Rinse your face with warm water and the King C Gillette Beard and Face Wash to help prepare your hair 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.

Step 6: Shave with Light, Gentle Strokes

If you need guidance, print some mutton chops beard images so that once you’re at the shaving stage, you can copy the style. Now that you’re ready, attach the razor blade attachment onto your Gillette STYLER handle and shave with light, gentle strokes, to give yourself a close shave. Any Fusion5™, ProGlide and SkinGuard blade refill fits with our STYLER.

Step 7: Rinse Your Blades Often

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