How to Trim a Long Beard with a Handlebar Moustache 

To trim a large beard with a growing moustache to make the handlebar you need to take some care. That's what Carlos, Barber of "Confraria da Barba", explains while trimming Lucas's beard, one of our subscribers.
FIRST CLEANING WITH CUSTOMER SITTING
When trimming the largest and most shaggy hair of a large beard, strands can fall down the customer's face. So it is a good idea to do this first cleaning with the customer still sitting. In addition, it is also easier to hit the angles and neck line as the large beard will naturally be hanging down.
SHAVING GEL ON YOUR MO
When the idea is to grow the moustache to style like a handlebar, for example, you have to be very careful when trimming. The lateral strands should always remain larger and the cleaning should be done only on the smaller hairs, closer to the mouth line.
A good way to avoid accidentally trimming the largest hair is to use some of the shaving gel itself - or a moustache wax - to hold the larger strands together before trimming with the scissors.
THE BEARD ANGLE
You can adjust the angle of the beard at the beginning of the jaw to accentuate the size of the chin, for example. Larger and straighter angles give this highlight more. Smoother angles and more natural lines following the shape of the jaw make the beard more natural following the shape of the face.
WHITE TOWEL FOR MORE CONTRAST
If the cover is dark and the beard is too, you can use a white towel to give more contrast and better see the threads that need to be trimmed.
UNIFORM YARN, FULLEST BEARD
It is common for some strands, especially in the chin region, to grow faster than others. These larger strands give the appearance of a thinner beard. It is therefore important to keep the wires in a more uniform size. So the beard grows with a fuller appearance.
