Pencil mustache is a famous facial hair expression that took place in the 1940âs. Generally, a pencil mustache is a thin mustache contiguous or maybe a bit higher to your upper lip. It is conceived as an elegant style for men having a minimum reaction to facial hair. The film “Gone With The Wind” was premiered in 1939 & there the leading character Clark Gables was seen with a new facial hair expression which we call Pencil Mustache. In the 1940âs many famous celebrities like Clark Gables, David Niven, Errol Flynn, and George Orwell followed this style.
Even now many famous Hollywood celebrities Zac Efron, and Joe Jonas follow this style. It is more popular in African-American men in the US. Though somewhat the style has changed a bit. Men all over the world have customized this style as they like. But the main theme remains the same. There is no age limit for this mustache. If you are growing a beard then you can have your pencil mustache. Itâs not a very hard task to make a pencil mustache of your own. Here is an instruction that can help you if you are willing to have a pencil mustache:
For a perfect pencil mustache, you will need:
- Small Grooming Scissor
- Razor
- Fine-Toothed Mustache Comb
- Mirror
- Clear Shaving Gel (Shaving foam makes your mustache lines invisible so itâs better to use clear shaving gel)
- Water
(If you have an electric Mustache Trimmer then the trimming will be easier)
Here Are Some Steps You Need To Follow:
Step 1
First, you need to prepare your face for shaving. For this, you should exfoliate your face with a gentle face scrub & wash your face with lukewarm water. You can also get a hot towel & press it into your face for a while. This will make your face & facial hair smoother.
Step 2
Apply the clear shaving gel. Trim your beard except for the mustache. Take extra caution during trimming the mustache area. In this case, Clear Shaving Gel will help you to make a perfect outline. Donât cut the ends too high. Keep the hair just beyond your mouth on both sides. Rinse your blade very often with clean water to prevent the buildup of hairs & shaving gel on the edges.
Step 3
Comb your mustache with a fine-toothed mustache comb to the direction it grows.
Step 4
Take the small grooming scissor & cut the bottom line of your mustache for a smooth even outline. Before this, decide how much thicker you want your mustache to grow.

Step 7
Take the razor & trim the edges of your mustache very carefully & check for symmetry as you go for a perfect parameter. If you are using an electric mustache trimmer then set it to a lower power so that you cut the least amount of hair at a time otherwise your mustache may turn into a mess.

Shave a thin space between your nose & mustache until you get the look you want. In this case, a single-bladed razor can make your work easier without any fault.
Step 9
At last rinse your face with clean water. Pat dry and apply a good quality aftershave lotion to rehydrate your skin.
