This will highlight the best features of your face and give you the definition and effortless style that only a well-groomed beard can!

Stubble Goatee

For guys with stronger growth on their chin, a stubble goatee is an easy-to-achieve look that will make your 3-day facial hair look defined and well-groomed.

The goatee leaves things a little longer on your moustache and chin so we suggest using a 3-5mm guard on both. You can then clean up the rest of your face with a clean shave to make this look stand out – a shaving and edging razor is perfect for creating these sharp and defined lines.

Long Stubble

For guys that don’t want to trim every day, a longer stubble beard around 4 to 6mm gives you a longer beard style that still looks professional and groomed.

With this kind of look, using beard oil will help to soften any coarse beard hair and nourish your facial hair as it grows.

Any man growing a beard for the first time will often notice an initial itchy phase – this Argan oil-rich formulation will help your hair and your skin to stay moisturised and comfortable while it grows out.

Patchy Stubble Beard

The best stubble style for you will depend on how your facial hair grows – for any guys noticing patchy areas in their beard, these are our top tips.

Styling a patchy beard is all about highlighting thicker areas and making sure the eye isn’t drawn to gaps. So 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 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.

Moustache with Stubble

Our last tip for anyone looking for men’s stubble styles with a whole lot of flair is to let that upper lip hair grow out.

Unlike some other moustache styles which go for a clean shaved look across the rest of your face, the stubble moustache is a blended look that draws your upper lip hair into your new beard.

To make this style your own why not try out a more flamboyant moustache like a handlebar? This curled style calls for some high-quality beard balm – our formulation is easy to spread and can gently shape your new beard style
