Fiddy wins beard awards!
50 Cent scoops Shave Your Style’s inaugural Beard Awards with his tight chinstrap and goatee combo.
We can’t praise Fiddy’s style enough: he’s a real favorite with us here at shaveyourstyle.com. He’s smooth, he’s dapper and he’s beyond cool, proving that a sharp beard is the perfect accessory to a well-cut suit and tie. The chinstrap and goatee work well together to accentuate his strong jawline, while keeping the lines both trim and sharp. It’s the look of a modern day business mogul, who has his nose right on the money again.
Fiddy has been very clever to pair a chinstrap – which is difficult to wear by itself - with a goatee to give him just the right amount of definition to his facial features.
Get the look
1. Grow your beard until it is visible.
2. Use a side and back mirror to help you plan out the right shape and lines for your face.
3. Shave a straight, clean line down your cheek, along the sideburn towards your jawline where it will meet your beard. You may need to shave the spot "behind" the sideburn towards the ear, just to make it straight.
4. Once this is straight, leave a strip along your jaw line and shave the rest of your cheek, under your chin and neck area leaving clean, sharp lines.
5. Repeat on the other side.
6. Decide on the width of your goatee (depending on the shape of your mouth) and shave down along the sides of your lips till you meet the upper edge of the chinstrap near your chin, and finish shaving the cheeks cleanly.
7. Shape the goatee according to your face shape by defining the lines around and above the upper and lower lip.
8. Create a soul patch (centered under lower lip) by shaving the outer edges under the bottom lip downward to continue the lines of the chinstrap, while leaving the inner/outer edges of the ‘pipes’ (sides of the goatee along the mouth) clean and sharp.
9. Once you are satisfied with the shape, trim the hair's length as desired.
10. Moisturize, and you're done.
