The Perfect Mustache Trim - Demonstrated!

I'm trying to grow mine out. I have trimmed it once with scissors like this but longer mustaches get in the way of smooching, which is a big downside, lol. That may be more on the TMI side, but its a real thing and something I try to be considerate of for my wife. I do like how much fuller it makes everything look overall tho. Thanks on another great video Dan!

Random question but do you ever get your shears sharpened?

My mustache is probably the weakest part of my beard. It’s not a big full stache at all. My wife is not a fan of when I grow it out so I keep it short

Thanks for your advice

Great pointers Dan, thanks for sharing with everyone.

I use my beard trimmer, seems like every 4-5 days, much quicker and easier for me, good tutorial, but I have coordination issues when using scissors in the mirror, lol.

This came at the perfect time! I just trimmed my moustache after buying some moustache scissors. I am about 4 months in, roughly. I miss having a full, thick, moustache however as you say balancing practicality with the look of a big moustache is key. As always fantastic video!!!! Ah man keep up the amazing work!

👍

You rock, big daddy.

Great trim Dan! 👏 and thanks for the demonstration! 👍💪🔥

Ever thought of making a butters 101?

I’m jealous of your mustache, mine isn’t even a quarter of your density, length just makes mine look thin. I’ve tried wax too but I can’t stand the feeling either, thanks for the info bro

Nice adventure into stache, always more precise needs for me than the beard . Love the advice, nice blending into beard, my favorite style. Rockin it as always👊

Love your channel always has new info!!

Awesomely done Dan👌

This is the way 🙌

Thank you, Sir! Great idea on pushing out the lip. I'm going to try that next time I do a trim.

Great tutorial!!! I like how you just get right in there with confidence. Just did mine three days ago. Was trying to let it grow for a couple months but I eat out all the time and was driving me crazy. I just did under my nose, my handlebars are a bit longer but the stash is always a bit of a battle. I’m as pleased with it as it gets for the time. Thanks as always Dan🍻🍻🍻

I thought I had a lazy walrus going into this video. I now know I have more of a unmotivated seal. 😅

How long you’ve been rocking the natural cheek lines for and would you ever go back to lining them up?? I’ve tried the natural but couldn’t stick with it, I guess I’m obsessed wit da crispy look🤷🏽🤷🏽

Hi Dan ❤ I have a question; Aberlite Pocket what do u think? I wanna buy it for my boyfriend but there's so many just out of my current budget

That sea moisture you get on the coasts is different from ambient humidity. That is why I over straighten and let it bounce back. Writing from Vegas right now, and the lack of humidity has my beard stick straight with just blow dryer. Your mustache doubled in density in Maine 😮

I really enjoy the instructiinal demonstration videos. I literally watch these videos while I am trimming my beard and mustache. Thanks for all that you do for the bearded community.

Great video Dan. Trimming my mustache is one of the things I don't like to do. Always afraid of cutting too much off or being uneven. This video addressed that. Thank you for the detail and video

Well done, gave me another approach. I always did the smile cut.👍

A man with confidence. Nice job bro.

Great video and thanks for the updated mustache trim lesson. Is the beard trim video you did a while back still current or are you planning a new video for that too?

Mine needs done, been eating it lately 😂

Very good brother! I needed that demonstration. Simple, easy and effective. The advice to just stop if it gets sideways and to let the process take time: it’s great to remember not to rush it; and that if you slip up, it’s not a big deal…it’ll grow back!
This method is so much better than what my hairstylist wife does: just a straight trim across the top lip:(. Your method of feeling and finding the length and how it lays is much better!!
Thank you Sir!! Another great tutorial for us Beardos!!🙏

Which way of rotating beard oil would be better? Going in order a different one every day rotating that, for example if i have 7 oils and go Monday to Sunday with each assigned to it's day, or, using an oil for a week or so and then the next? Which way would i benefit from the oils properties better?

Always great information. The mustache is the crowning glory of the beard. It is always most difficult to do the middle of the mustache for those who have a strong center. You nailed it so well. And the ends of mine always seem to grow differently from one side to the other. Again, you nailed it. And it fits so well with your kickass beard. Thanks again.

This came a couple days too late. I went from trimming it twice a week to not once in four months or so. A few days ago I had enough and trimmed it down super short again no more heated brush, or moving my mustache away to get a drink of water.

"Perfect" I think a lot of folks may need context on that word, it is the perfect trim for you, and you'll share why you feel that way. I then have the choice to listen to your opinions, weigh them against my own, and decide if there is something I can take from the video.
The notification for this video popped up while I was getting ready, I was brushing my teeth, and I had to chuckle about all the backlash you received for that video. You shared some good info and insights, along with your opinions, but I still brush my teeth the way I did before the video. Mostly because I have to take advantage of opportunities to shower based on when I can with the dog, and I don't think about brushing first, more than dis-agreeing with your premise...
I digress, back to the topic... I personally haven't trimmed the center of my mustache since August 2021 (aside from a few rogue hairs), but as you mentioned there are A LOT of negatives that come along with doing that...
I feel like I've finally figured out the heat routine to achieve the curly look, but recently I've been trying to blend the ends down into the beard like you described... I too have to fight the weird dips and curls, and I find I unintentionally accentuate the curl out of habit... lol
My goal right now is to find a look with less wax a more natural look, I call it the Farrah flip, like the girls in the 70's when I was growing up. The hairs under the nose flow down then swoop to the side, with the ends blending into the beard.
Just like the other looks, it requires dialing in the heat routine, I feel like I learn something new daily... Someday I'll figure this thing out... lol
But here I am watching this video, even though I have no intention currently of trimming my mustache, but I feel like the more information and opinions I absorb, the better I can decide what is "Perfect" for me...
Thanks Dan for showing what is "Perfect" for you at this juncture in you life... 😎

My mustache is the worst part of my beard. It grows out in all different directions

Nice stache trim Dan! My mustache also grows really fast, I’m constantly doing small trims to keep it looking full, but like you said functional. Looks good man, great job! 💯👊🤘

Great! Thanks for the tongue tip.

Well done Trusted one

I never trim my mustache it seems like it got to a certain length and stayed there

Are you going into the barbershop business

My wife tells me the same when kissing that it is annoying so i always try to keep it trimmed at my lip 😀 wives win 😂 Happy Wife Happy Life 💓

Great timing as I'm in need of a trim. Couple questions: (1) Do you usually wait a certain amount of time to trim after using heat? (2) Are most trimming scissors usuable or are some clearly better?

I find myself trimming my mustache more around how it affects my eating. The curls in my beard cause it to go right in my mouth and I do not use heat so I try to keep it right at the lip line.

Funny that you posted this video right after I did a slight clean up on my mustache, and went through doing a split end check and trim. I try not to trim the mustache much, but when it becomes unmanageable every day, it's trim for a clean up.
Dang I didn't expect that much to come off.
I don't have to trim that little ^ in because my natural growth pattern has that.
Thanks Dan!

No words needed @Dan C Bearded 😅👊another cracker!!

Well done Dan!

FIRST!
