Create your own Clark Gable mustache. How? Learn it in 6 simple steps


1. Give yourself a nice even trim, to around 1/8 to 1/5 of an inch. This will help you when you’re drawing the borders for this distinguished, tidy mustache.

2. Place your precision trimmer directly at the center point beneath your nose. Create a sharp, diagonal line down to the corner of your mouth on both sides.

3. Now use the precision trimmer to create a nice, clean vertical groove at the center point of the mustache, between your nose and top lip.

4. Trim the lower edges of your mustache into a straight line.

5. Now switch to your mini foil shaver: use this to clean up around your Clarke Gable mustache, making sure to get rid of any hairs that stick out.

6. Give yourself a clean shave on the cheeks, chin and neck, using your rotary shaver in a gentle, circular motion.
