The guff on bum fluff
| The soul patch |
 |
This fur between the lower lip and chin originates from the beatniks, who liked to stroke it while listening to bad poetry. For a modern look, keep the hair short and neatly trimmed. Tops for squarer jawlines.
|
| The goatee |
 | The true goatee is a beard that's confined to the lower chin, but it can be worn long or short. Keeping length down to finger-width gives the best look, especially for bigger blokes with softer chin lines. |
| The goatee with mo’ |
 | Prune the goat-mo' to suit your face shape; a rounded goatee for an angular face, or square beard for Biggest Loser contestants. For a hip look, it should be
kept short, or trimmed to create a thinner line. |
| Three-day growth |
 | This look's popular at the moment. The beard should be grown all over but trimmed into shape by clean-shaving under the jawline. It looks good kept at
a number two with clippers and generally suits all guys. |
Line work
|
 |
Cut the bulk of your beard out and leave the outline running along the jawline and around the lower lip and goatee. It's a very "now" look, that needs regular maintenance oh, and it suits squarer profiles. |
