The Appeal of Stubble Beards:
Stubble beards are simple, stylish, and effortless. Unlike long and bushy beards, stubble doesn't require extensive growth. It's a versatile option that suits different face shapes and can highlight your best features. Whether you have a 3-day growth or 5mm stubble, there's a stubble beard style that's perfect for you.
Best Stubble Beard Styles:
1. Stubble Goatee
The stubble goatee is an easy-to-achieve look that adds definition to your facial hair. It is ideal for guys with strong growth on their chin. To achieve this style, use a 3-5mm guard on your chin and moustache, and clean up the rest of your face for a sharp and well-groomed appearance. King C. Gillette's Shaving and Edging Razor is perfect for creating precise lines and maintaining this look.
2. 3-Day Stubble
A 3-day men’s stubble style can be great if a close shave every day is leaving your skin feeling irritated and sore. For this simple stubble look, you won’t let it go wild; the 3-day look is all about simplicity and symmetry.
So with your versatile, cordless trimmer, we suggest using a 3mm guard and carefully shaving a consistent length across your facial fuzz. This minimal look is great in any setting and avoids out-of-control bushy and unkempt hair.
3. Moustache with Stubble
Combining a bold and prominent moustache with short stubble creates a classic and stylish look. Grow out your moustache to the desired length and trim the rest of your facial hair to achieve a well-maintained stubble. Experiment with different moustache styles, such as the Chevron or Handlebar, to find the perfect match for your stubble.
3. Stubble Beard with Defined Jawline
A stubble beard with a defined jawline is a popular and attractive style. This look involves keeping the hair shorter on the cheeks and neck while allowing it to grow slightly longer on the chin and jawline. The result is a clean and structured appearance that highlights your facial features.
4. The Trendy Beardstache
The Beardstache, a combination of a heavy stubble and a prominent moustache, has become increasingly popular in recent years. This style allows you to showcase both your stubble and moustache, creating a unique and eye-catching look.
To achieve the Beardstache, grow out your facial hair to a longer length, typically around 10 days of growth, and trim the rest of your beard to a shorter stubble length. This style works well for those who want to make a bold statement and add a touch of sophistication to their appearance.
How to Achieve the Perfect Stubble Look and Beardstache:
Now that you know some of the top stubble styles, including the Beardstache, it's time to try them out for yourself. Here are some tips to help you achieve the perfect stubble look:
1. Growing and Trimming:
To achieve the desired stubble length for the Beardstache, let your facial hair grow for around 10 days. This will vary depending on your hair growth rate and personal preference. Once it reaches the desired length, use a beard trimmer, like the King C. Gillette Beard Trimmer, to trim your beard evenly and maintain the stubble length. Experiment with different guard lengths to find the one that suits you best.
2. Defining the Cheek Line and Neckline:
To create a clean and polished appearance, define your stubble beard's cheek line and neckline. Use a shaver or straight-razor to follow the natural contours of your jawline. This will help create a well-groomed look and enhance the definition of your stubble beard and Beardstache.
3. Maintaining the Style:
To keep your stubble and Beardstache looking their best, follow these maintenance tips:
Regularly trim your facial hair to maintain the desired stubble length. This will help keep your beard neat and tidy.
Use beard oil or moisturizer to keep your stubble well-nourished and hydrated. This will prevent dryness and itchiness, ensuring a healthy-looking beard.
Clean up the edges and maintain sharp lines using Gillette's Shave and Edging Razor. This will help define your stubble style and give it a polished appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does it take to grow a stubble beard?
Growing a stubble beard can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on your hair growth rate. It's important to let your facial hair grow out to the desired length before trimming and shaping it into a stubble style.
2. Can I achieve a stubble look with patchy facial hair?
Yes, you can still achieve a stubble look even if you have patchy facial hair. Embrace the natural growth pattern of your beard and trim it accordingly. By keeping the hair shorter in the areas with less growth and slightly longer in the areas with more growth, you can create a balanced and stylish stubble look. Grab your shorter guard on your beard trimmer and go for an even length across your jaw to keep things looking sharp.
It’s also worth being patient as every guy’s facial hair grows differently and your perfect look might take a little longer to grow out.
3. What face shapes best suit a stubble beard and Beardstache?
Stubble beards are versatile and can suit various face shapes. However, they tend to work particularly well for square, oval, and heart-shaped faces. The structured lines of stubble can help enhance the jawline and add definition to these face shapes. Experiment with different stubble lengths and styles to find the one that complements your unique features.
4. How often should I trim my stubble?
The frequency of trimming your stubble depends on the desired length and the rate of your facial hair growth. As a general guideline, you may need to trim your stubble every few days or once a week to maintain the desired length and shape. Regular maintenance will help keep your stubble looking sharp and well-groomed.
