Learn how to trim a natural moustache
Before we begin, some basic prep. Make sure your beard is at least 1 cm long so that you have something to work with. For a smoother grooming experience, you’re going to want a dry face and beard, with no shaving cream to obscure what you’re doing (this is how bad moustaches happen!). It’s also important to know which of the many moustache styles you’re shooting for. When in doubt, the natural moustache compliments most.
1. Shape your moustache
Use a moustache and beard trimmer with a precision attachment to make a gentle curve under your nose. Trim the hair above your upper lip to create a clean line. Then trim the ends of your moustache outwards, from the edge of your lips.
2. Trim your beard to reveal your moustache
