Handlebar wearer for 3 years. My advice is: never trim wet. Or with wax. Just comb it and trim the ends dry. If you do it wet or waxed. You’ll find that you’ll cut too much. But find out for yourself if you’ll like
I think this just varies based on your beard. I have a lot of density by my stache and if I don't wax it first it's near impossible to know how I'm trimming it. Styling first helps me a lot and I never feel like I'm trimming too much off
I have been wanting to have a handlebar for a long time, My barbers I have went to since growing my beard have all failed in getting this right. Well guess what I'm doing tonight. Yup following this advice! Thanks Spence you rock man. and LOVE your products!!!! 1880 FTW!
I just wanna say THANK YOU for the profile shot and side shot comparison. Its like you're 3D modeling in Maya/Blender/Zbrush and switching perspectives and it really gives off exactly what your trying to do. U earned my sub for that
Oh man, that is the best when you get compliments on the handlebar mustache! Truly shows that the time it takes is worth it! We appreciate your support!
Man I really needed this advice! My nose neighbor is about as long as yours in this video, and I desperately needed to learn how to maintain it! I’ve been rocking just the stache by itself for over a year and I love it!
Man I’m glad I found your channel.. I’ve finally been committed to a full beard with a handlebar mustache.. I’m a guy that usually likes to pull off the stubble look but sometime I would get lazy an not trim/shave for like 2 or even 3 months an my beard would start to grow long an eventually look like crap bc I didn’t know how to maintain an ect.. I’m pushing 5 months now since I last shaved my face an my mustache I would always trim my lip line but this time I haven’t but now I need to go an do some Maintenance bc my mustache is getting so long that when I drink or eat it gets in the way an I constantly comb it an carry a comb with me bc I didn’t know about the wax.. also in different video I seen your morning routine so may I ask where you get all your stuff for that an trimmers an scissors because I’m dedicated to growing this beard out.. this is the longest I’ve had it since 09 but back in 09 I kept my mustache trimmed an not long to where it will grow into a handlebar style so I’m excited.. also I have very long hair but keep it pulled back 👍🏻 thank you for your time on these videos bc I was never taught how to shave or anything lol I just did it on my own an why I would usually do stubble bc it was easy but at the same time hate having a clean shaven face
Man I appreciate this video. My handlebar has been good so far until the beard hairs underneath have blended in and got really annoying. Glad I found this trim video. Gonna try and do some trimming tomorrow.
Yeah bro! We have a ton of mustache maintenance videos. Be sure to watch Spencer talk about separating the stash! It makes all the difference. Let us know if there is any other way we can support you!
Excellent advice for my mustache, thank you. Styling before hand and tools for it helped a lot. Patience and focus is a lost art, so adding it to the self grooming process is an excellent reminder.
2 years is solid bro, Happy to help you out on that journey! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions regarding beard care and we'll be more than happy to help a brother out! ✌️
Such good advice. My moustache looks great sitting on top of my beard following these steps. Just bought my first batch of Live bearded products yesterday and am impressed with the all round experience. Keep up the good work lads, from Australia
Thank you so much for all the content you make about beard styling tips. I've been super nervous to trim my beard/stache, but having watched videos you've made over and over has definitely given me the confidence to style and cut my own beard. Again, thank you! You guys at Live Bearded are awesome
This is the first time in my 56 yrs I've tried growing handlebars. Received a lot of advice from friends and they were all wrong. I was told to NEVER trim!!! Because I haven't, the growth in the middle is driving me nuts because it doesn't want to bend to my will/wax, I have considered giving up, until this video. Thanks!!! Will attempt to trim.
You’ve got one of the best beard/handlebar mustaches I’ve ever seen…definitely in the top 5. I just started my beard 11 weeks ago and, I’m going to give the handlebar a try in the next couple of weeks.
I gave up. I fear the Barbour. Every time I go they butcher me. I say hey I want to grow the fullest beard possible just simply shape and clean the edges. I want to grow it out long and full. Boom! I get a buzz cut to my beard. I say easy on the buzzers they say it's cool I'm just doing what you asked. I've even got a freaking strap beard. I want handlebars boom freaking buzz cut. These are old barbers. Even some newer barbers they say the same thing you don't want to be no hipster. I know one thing for sure, I'm not a millennial and I'm not a hipster. Just a fat guy looking to hide his 3 chins and look good. Can you please do a video on proper Barber lingo?
I am the same way , Brother! I trust myself and maybe one other to touch my mane! Just research and be aware of your needs and just trim slow!! YOU GOT THIS!!-JP
MrMoon_ start working on your beard yourself brother... it’s not that hard... there is enough tutorials out there for you to start taking your beard in your own hand!
I just came back from the barber. Asked him to shape the sides and level the bottom, before I knew he had trimmed half my mustache off. Never again.. I'm done.
You see. I've had legitimate barbours ask if I want my beard styled or trimed over the years. When I say yeah the only one that actually got it was this run down place in Rhoad Island. Great lad, but not a lot of business. Just learned to do it myself. Ironically it just grows in like a handlebar now and the most I have to do is do a lil curl at the tip with organic gel if need be. Trust yourself and you're golden. (I do fresh shave every few months just to get a fuller stache, but only becacuse I know how my facial hair grows.) Study your face and you'll find your groove
You are fortunate that your mustache is a different shade than your beard. It really helps set it apart from the beard. My beard and stache are both rather salt and peppery so everything blends together. I trim my cheek line so that it comes down to the corners of my mouth rather than letting the beard grow up my cheeks and that helps a bit but not much. The separation trimming might help but that makes me nervous!
@@rancherhicks I've tried Just For Men before but unfortunately, it caused weeping sores on my chin. I'm at the stage now where I really like the white/ silver coming in and don't want to alter that, at least not permanently. I did try some trimming and it helped quite a bit. I also need to grow more of the stache out to make the handlebars thicker.
Great advice on the mustache! I've been growing my mustache out for several times, but I always seem to be trimming it down too far to the outside of the lip. I've decide to not do that anymore and keep it short and neat. Though, your advice could help me reach the actual handlebar level. I've seen my mustache ends grow into my beard every single time as well, so I will surely try to shorten the hairs around the tips to see how that turns out. Next to that I have decided to grow out my beard to double the length, currently it's about the 4 month length. I'm growing out all of it, and a short and neat mustache just doesn't go with that to balance it out.
Spencer !! Firstly you have a great beard and a perfect handlebar stache !! I'm In the process of growing the similar beard and and a handlebar just like you...I have seen many videos but your videos are simply best brother !! Let's live bearded !! Veer here from India.
Retired now (finally) and living bearded! I received my first living bearded Christmas gift from my family! AWESOME, what a great assortment of goodies! Merry Christmas brother and I will be living bearded! Semper Fidelis, God bless America!
Live Bearded, thank you my bearded brother! I have seen several videos on beard and stach grooming. But yours are the best, I am modeling mine after yours! God bless and love bearded forever! Semper Fidelis
I took his advice to trim the center but that was a mistake just let them grow out so eventually they will all be the same length, then trim, not before! Another reason for this is you’ll never coral the trimmed hairs and they will wreck your stash like young hairs with the old. This is hard to do and will take months but once they’re all even with no more short hairs, perfect!
Nice video.But I am trying to grow a handlebar mustache.I already have a nice beard going. You were showing in this video how to maintain it?How do you actually grow it ,how do you trim it so it grows long?
We have some great tips and tricks on our blog at www.livebearded.com, or if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us at support@livebearde.com
That looks like a good wax. What kind is it? I can't seem to find a good one, the ones I buy just look like glue in the stache. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
Great video. TX for the tips. I've always wanted a handlebar mustache and I finally got some gray in the mustache to match the beard, so I'm going for it!
I'm the opposite. I got a beard I'm happy with but a weak stache. When I see a nice styled mustache like in this video, I can tell these guys just have way more mustache hairs than me :( Anyway there's probably some cool partial beard styles you could do if you have a good mustache
Great tips, thank you! I had a good handlebar going then I made the mistake of trimming too wide above the lip and my handlebars are thin now. Would you recommend trimming those back, equal with the rest, so all the hairs can grow out again together?
Your stache is killer man! I actually like the natural look better myself, or somewhere halfway in between! Your beard is wonderful! Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the feedback man! I definitely play around with mine personally and let it grow out a bit longer to fully cover the lip or trim it back to shape it up a bit more. That's what's so great about it, it'll grow back! Live Bearded, brother!
Once again great Stache but you also have another advantage is the two tone color... your stache is blond while your beard is dark brown to black which is a great overhaul look man! Told you in another video that I was going for your look at least for the stache, we all grow beard in a different ways. I have a yeard with nearly no trim aside from a little snip of scissor here and there from time to time and I do have similar stache which is pretty cool but on the down side I am not so lucky with the color scheme. Lol never the less it’s all good. I really wonder how my beard would look like if I could find a proper barber and use some beard product. Some day my friend... some day I will! 😂
t. smith it is a good idea but I have to inform you that I do not have a proposer Barbershop where I live... may sound nuts I know but not everyone lives in U.S. or Europe... some of us happen to live in countries where you don’t find the regular stuff like you guys. Anyway not complaining, I actually like my beard color as it is, no regrets, got some salt and pepper, some reddish, some brown, it’s pretty cool actually but as oppose to Spencer mine is uniform in that colorful pallet... stache & beard... So I’ll keep your advise of dyeing my beard for when I reach a country where the barber shop actually have walls around his chair 😂😂😂
I assume once you start trimming any of it, even the small hairs in centre you will always be, so would it be better to grow it all out from the start long So the small hairs don't exist and they all are long enough to style out?
Not necessarily. You can definitely just let it grow naturally, but I'd advice to trim the centre ones. It's a lot easier to distinguish left from right and makes the styling faster and reliable.
After watching this, I got a better handlebar by a mile. I just let every hear grow thinking I would get that badass western stach,.. but it was so painful to eat and drink so I ended up touching the stach and forming it maybe 100 times a day.. and that kills hairs, I pulled so many and ended up with a thinner and thinner stach.. so I said goodbye to the fat stach and shaved off the hairs over my lip letting the hairs from the side of the nose grow! It made me never touch it, and it grew long, then it was easy to grow it thicker in the middle!
Hell yea bro! Growing a handlebar definitely takes some maintenance and solid trimming! I usually recommend growing the stache for 3-4 months before trying to shape it!
I don't have such a full mustache as you, it's okay though. I don't trim the lip line, I let it grow and only cut out a fly away every now and then. If I trim it to the lip line, it looks too thin in my eyes.
Do you trim the hairs high up on your cheeks to fade it a little and then let the lower (to your jaw) hairs make the length? Nobody ever talks about this (here or the beard trimming videos)
I'm still kinda confused on EXACTLY what part of the beard/mustache makes up the handlebar. I mean, does the handlebar start from the nostril down or from another point?
Really great advice! Im still struggling with my handlebar. I have grown it out for four months now and i cant get it to hold the shape. One day it sits perfectly, the next day its just not cooperating. My beardhair is very curly, took me some time to get the hang of it and keep a nice full and shaped beard. I got that part for over a year now, but the stache 😅 its my second time trying it now and i really dig the overall look with my full beard, but its so frustrating that it doesnt hold the shape day per day as yours. Any further advice? I really wanna keep it, so great to be one of the few brothers rocking a full beard and handlebar!
@@livebearded What does "train" even mean? Some actual advice would be nice for us with curly facial hair, yours is straight so you dont have to do much.
it seems you let the hair under the nose grow more downward and trim to the lip and let the more outside hair be the longer hair; am i getting that right?
Yes sir, absolutely! Then, you can pull those outer longer hairs in the desired direction while keeping the center hairs shorter and out of your mouth. It also gives the illusion that it's all one length!
if i can just get it trimmed up nice i have a huge handlebar mustache. been growing it for 3 years. really need to find a barbor who can do this for me right. very afraid to mess it up.
You had my complete attention until you whipped out the Wahl trimmer. Yikes...but I'll say, you sure can keep that fur face on point! 👏👏👏 I have a continuing issue with my no beard handle bar mustache. My hair naturally has perfect curls at the tips except that they curl downward. It takes some motivation from some serious wax just to get them to go straight at the tips, similar to doc Holliday in tombstone. Any suggestions?
Thanks for making this video. One question... I have curly hair and the right side of my moustache always droops downwards instead of upwards after I shape it upwards with the wax. It looks fine at first but quickly ends up looking like a bird in flight with one drooping broken leg. How should I fix this problem?
This happens to me ALL the time, you just have to train it. Over time it'll get better. Have you used a blow dryer on it? I would sit your blow dryer directly below the point of your stach facing upwards and you comb it out. You can email us at support@livebearded.com for more tips and tricks.
@@livebearded Thanks! I hadn't tried to curl it upwards in over a year, but followed your trimming instructions and it holds up on both sides:D Even used the blow drying tip... Works brilliantly! Thanks, man!
First off thank y ot u for your service! We here at LB are AVID supporters of our men and women who fight for our freedoms. Secondly, yessir! Grow it all for about 3-4 months before touching it. Only line up your cheek line and neck line so it doesn't get too wild and crazy. At the end of that time, you'll be able to see your real growth patterns and be able to go for the look you desire. Also, be sure to use good all natural products to avoid damage to your skin and beard! Check out our line of products below! www.livebearded.com
Dude, could you make a video with tips on how to let your mustache grow as to have the handlebar one day? I'm letting it grow, i do not have a thick mustache, and it looks so weird, I don't know what to do to let it grow, but keeping a decent look. Any tips? Thanks
Hey brother, thanks for stopping in. Actually, Spencer has a whole series of grooming, and most are geared towards the handlebar. You can find these here in our channel or in our blog section of our website www.livebearded.com. There are tons of tips and tricks to help you in your journey brother. First step, however, is separating the mustache from the beard, which Spencer shows in one of his tutorials! Hopefully this helps point you in the right direction for mustache domination!!!
Well, since you already have the separation there, you can try forming that handlebar and it will really make the entire setup pop a lot more! Making it look like 1 solid entity.
Handlebar wearer for 3 years. My advice is: never trim wet. Or with wax. Just comb it and trim the ends dry. If you do it wet or waxed. You’ll find that you’ll cut too much. But find out for yourself if you’ll like
I think this just varies based on your beard. I have a lot of density by my stache and if I don't wax it first it's near impossible to know how I'm trimming it. Styling first helps me a lot and I never feel like I'm trimming too much off
Dude that mustache is majestic 👌🏼
Spence definitely has one epic stache on him!
Yep. Growing a handlebar stache. Thank you, Brother.
Such a great looking stache.
I have been wanting to have a handlebar for a long time, My barbers I have went to since growing my beard have all failed in getting this right. Well guess what I'm doing tonight. Yup following this advice! Thanks Spence you rock man. and LOVE your products!!!! 1880 FTW!

Wow!! That last tip changed everything. Wish I knew that long ago! Thanks!!
I want a handle bar mustache because I love vests and I believe formal vests and handle bar mustaches are a great compliment to the clothes
A man after my own heart!!

You are fortunate that your mustache is a different shade than your beard. It really helps set it apart from the beard.

I trim my cheek line so that it comes down to the corners of my mouth rather than letting the beard grow up my cheeks and that helps a bit but not much.

Try dying your beard a shade darker, or the stache a shade lighter. Just for men works for me.

Live Bearded, thank you my bearded brother! I have seen several videos on beard and stach grooming. But yours are the best, I am modeling mine after yours! God bless and love bearded forever! Semper Fidelis
Handle Bar brothers for life!

I took his advice to trim the center but that was a mistake just let them grow out so eventually they will all be the same length, then trim, not before! Another reason for this is you’ll never coral the trimmed hairs and they will wreck your stash like young hairs with the old. This is hard to do and will take months but once they’re all even with no more short hairs, perfect!
Since you lose hairs all the time and have young ones growing in their place. Don’t you always have some short hairs messing up the stache?
Trying to get my stache looking like this. Where it just lays right over the beard.
This is a fantastic video. Informative far beyond most of what you find on TH-cam. Super appreciate you and your advice
Appreciate the solid feedback! We always strive to bring out great informative videos for our bearded brothers!
Another simple easy to follow step by step walk thru from the handsome beast ❤️
Subbed, for life. Your advice is the most intuitive I’ve found.
SOO Glad that you are with us, brother!
Great vid as usual. Keep it up!
Thank you.
Your videos are the best!
Thanks for the support brother!
Thanks for the great tips on separation. Stash for 50years, brand new beard.
Getting their growing my handlebars out again. My advice to the newbies is heavy wax at night when you sleep it will help to train.
Great advice brother! Thanks!!
Fantastic video!!
thank you for the support brother!
Nice video.But I am trying to grow a handlebar mustache.I already have a nice beard going. You were showing in this video how to maintain it?How do you actually grow it ,how do you trim it so it grows long?
Thanks! For a handlebar mustache, keep it moisturized with beard oils or balms. Regular shaping helps it grow long. Goodluck man!
My ends aren't as thick as yours and brittle looking.
Do I start oiling them or am I just not ready to grow/maintain.
Thanks for the video.
Looking great, nice stache buddie!
Im so close to having the same look for the stashe, love it!! Im just nervous about trimming it at the moment!! 🤣🤣
We have some great tips and tricks on our blog at www.livebearded.com, or if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us at support@livebearde.com
That looks like a good wax. What kind is it? I can't seem to find a good one, the ones I buy just look like glue in the stache. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
Typically that will come from there being simply too much wax in the product. Ours is a nice medium hold wax that won't give that look of build up!
Great video. TX for the tips. I've always wanted a handlebar mustache and I finally got some gray in the mustache to match the beard, so I'm going for it!
Go for it brother!!! Happy we could help!
anyone else has an amazing mustache but a super wack beard? 😂 fml!...
I'm the opposite. I got a beard I'm happy with but a weak stache. When I see a nice styled mustache like in this video, I can tell these guys just have way more mustache hairs than me :(
Anyway there's probably some cool partial beard styles you could do if you have a good mustache
These videos are great. Thank you for putting these out there. Love the ads too!
Thank YOU for watching!
I'm a women and I'm so into watching theses videos of guys w their beards it's addictive.....
Why thank you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm currently going for a Van Dyke, I'll see how it goes.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
thanks man. i have a wiry stache but i will try
Great tips, thank you! I had a good handlebar going then I made the mistake of trimming too wide above the lip and my handlebars are thin now. Would you recommend trimming those back, equal with the rest, so all the hairs can grow out again together?
Great great great video. Thank you! May I ask how one can make a moustache that points to the sides rather than curling up?
Wax and trimming brother! you gotta train it to go where you want!

Such a quality stache!
Straight forward - AMAZING
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Great looking beard
Greatness! More of this!
we'll keep 'em coming brother!
wish a had a stash like that!
Great tutorial, very helpful Spence! Really like that trick on trimming the beard hair behind the stache.
Thanks brother!
I really don't like the blunt cut look. I like to feather the tip but it's really hard to do.
Awesome beard brother... love the tips. Loads of detail and very helpful 👍
Thanks for stopping by bro!
BTW great beard and moustache.
Once again great Stache but you also have another advantage is the two tone color... your stache is blond while your beard is dark brown to black which is a great overhaul look man!
Told you in another video that I was going for your look at least for the stache, we all grow beard in a different ways. I have a yeard with nearly no trim aside from a little snip of scissor here and there from time to time and I do have similar stache which is pretty cool but on the down side I am not so lucky with the color scheme. Lol never the less it’s all good.
I really wonder how my beard would look like if I could find a proper barber and use some beard product.
Some day my friend... some day I will! 😂
Hey Spencer, maybe I can get your e-mail address and forward you my picture...
Have you tried having your beard dyed to a shade darker? I have a friend who does hair and she's colored mine a few times.
t. smith it is a good idea but I have to inform you that I do not have a proposer Barbershop where I live... may sound nuts I know but not everyone lives in U.S. or Europe... some of us happen to live in countries where you don’t find the regular stuff like you guys. Anyway not complaining, I actually like my beard color as it is, no regrets, got some salt and pepper, some reddish, some brown, it’s pretty cool actually but as oppose to Spencer mine is uniform in that colorful pallet... stache & beard...
So I’ll keep your advise of dyeing my beard for when I reach a country where the barber shop actually have walls around his chair 😂😂😂
I want that mustache. .......... I know it's a sin to covet another man's wife, life or money - but is it a sin to covet another man's mustache?
...and the answer is... NO! 🧔
Absolutely it is. Start growing yours today. Resist trimming until it's really long then trim into place. Good luck.
What wax is this? It looks way easier to apply than the waxes I’ve tried.
That would be our Live Bearded Mustache wax! Comes in a very easy to apply tube instead of a jar!
thanks , excellent
trimming the handlebar is an art!
Fantastic beard and tache!
I assume once you start trimming any of it, even the small hairs in centre you will always be, so would it be better to grow it all out from the start long So the small hairs don't exist and they all are long enough to style out?
Not necessarily. You can definitely just let it grow naturally, but I'd advice to trim the centre ones. It's a lot easier to distinguish left from right and makes the styling faster and reliable.
After watching this, I got a better handlebar by a mile. I just let every hear grow thinking I would get that badass western stach,.. but it was so painful to eat and drink so I ended up touching the stach and forming it maybe 100 times a day.. and that kills hairs, I pulled so many and ended up with a thinner and thinner stach.. so I said goodbye to the fat stach and shaved off the hairs over my lip letting the hairs from the side of the nose grow! It made me never touch it, and it grew long, then it was easy to grow it thicker in the middle!
Hell yea bro! Growing a handlebar definitely takes some maintenance and solid trimming! I usually recommend growing the stache for 3-4 months before trying to shape it!
Thanks!
I don't have such a full mustache as you, it's okay though. I don't trim the lip line, I let it grow and only cut out a fly away every now and then. If I trim it to the lip line, it looks too thin in my eyes.
Hey brother, we each grow our beards and stache's differently. Always here to support you anyway we can! Appreciate you taking a look! Hope it helped.
Great vid man! Thanks for the tips! 👍
Do you trim the hairs high up on your cheeks to fade it a little and then let the lower (to your jaw) hairs make the length? Nobody ever talks about this (here or the beard trimming videos)
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I'm still kinda confused on EXACTLY what part of the beard/mustache makes up the handlebar. I mean, does the handlebar start from the nostril down or from another point?
Really great advice! Im still struggling with my handlebar. I have grown it out for four months now and i cant get it to hold the shape. One day it sits perfectly, the next day its just not cooperating. My beardhair is very curly, took me some time to get the hang of it and keep a nice full and shaped beard. I got that part for over a year now, but the stache 😅 its my second time trying it now and i really dig the overall look with my full beard, but its so frustrating that it doesnt hold the shape day per day as yours. Any further advice? I really wanna keep it, so great to be one of the few brothers rocking a full beard and handlebar!
Keep at it and train , train, train!!!
@@livebearded What does "train" even mean? Some actual advice would be nice for us with curly facial hair, yours is straight so you dont have to do much.
it seems you let the hair under the nose grow more downward and trim to the lip and let the more outside hair be the longer hair; am i getting that right?
Yes sir, absolutely! Then, you can pull those outer longer hairs in the desired direction while keeping the center hairs shorter and out of your mouth. It also gives the illusion that it's all one length!
This is the stash I want!!!
Check out all our grooming videos and you can see how to get it bro!
i got the problem of my mustache growing straight out / lots of volume. i do like to keep it short but I'm growing everything out at the moment
Good video picked up a couple of tips thanks
Any tips for growing direction problem. Other side is perfect handlebar but other side is going down all the time. The hair just curves down...
Sweet!, Good tips!
Nice vid. Nice tache bro. I will apply your tips. Thanks
if i can just get it trimmed up nice i have a huge handlebar mustache. been growing it for 3 years. really need to find a barbor who can do this for me right. very afraid to mess it up.
My moustache is now reaching the lenght, where an actual handlebar starts to curl up..... very small though, but the beginning is present... i like it
Glad to hear it brother!! Keep at it!
Great beard !!
You had my complete attention until you whipped out the Wahl trimmer. Yikes...but I'll say, you sure can keep that fur face on point! 👏👏👏
I have a continuing issue with my no beard handle bar mustache. My hair naturally has perfect curls at the tips except that they curl downward. It takes some motivation from some serious wax just to get them to go straight at the tips, similar to doc Holliday in tombstone. Any suggestions?
Go ahead and send a couple picture to us at support@livebearded.com of your beard and we can offer any tips and tricks.
@@livebearded cool, thanks man!
Thanks for making this video. One question... I have curly hair and the right side of my moustache always droops downwards instead of upwards after I shape it upwards with the wax. It looks fine at first but quickly ends up looking like a bird in flight with one drooping broken leg. How should I fix this problem?
This happens to me ALL the time, you just have to train it. Over time it'll get better. Have you used a blow dryer on it? I would sit your blow dryer directly below the point of your stach facing upwards and you comb it out. You can email us at support@livebearded.com for more tips and tricks.
@@livebearded Thanks! I hadn't tried to curl it upwards in over a year, but followed your trimming instructions and it holds up on both sides:D Even used the blow drying tip... Works brilliantly! Thanks, man!
Love the channel mate! From Australia.
You should add some new vids bro...
Game changer... new sub!
Hell yeah brother I appreciate the advice.
Anytime bro!
Excellent video!
Question, are you just trimming the under area of the mustache or trim the whole center of the stache
Grow the stache same time as the beard? Just shape and style as you go? Just finished up 22 years in the Navy, so I'm starting my post service beard.
First off thank y ot u for your service! We here at LB are AVID supporters of our men and women who fight for our freedoms. Secondly, yessir! Grow it all for about 3-4 months before touching it. Only line up your cheek line and neck line so it doesn't get too wild and crazy. At the end of that time, you'll be able to see your real growth patterns and be able to go for the look you desire. Also, be sure to use good all natural products to avoid damage to your skin and beard! Check out our line of products below!

Sweet ass stache home slice!
Thanks a ton my man!
Epic stash!
Is he trimming the mustache to the bottom part of the top lip?
I'm 18 and I'm planning on getting this moustache in my 20's.
Dude, could you make a video with tips on how to let your mustache grow as to have the handlebar one day? I'm letting it grow, i do not have a thick mustache, and it looks so weird, I don't know what to do to let it grow, but keeping a decent look. Any tips? Thanks
Hey brother, thanks for stopping in. Actually, Spencer has a whole series of grooming, and most are geared towards the handlebar. You can find these here in our channel or in our blog section of our website www.livebearded.com. There are tons of tips and tricks to help you in your journey brother. First step, however, is separating the mustache
from the beard, which Spencer shows in one of his tutorials!
Hopefully this helps point you in the right direction for mustache domination!!!
my moustache doesnt really come close to my neck beard any advice?
Well, since you already have the separation there, you can try forming that handlebar and it will really make the entire setup pop a lot more! Making it look like 1 solid entity.
