Spade Beard – Bold Geometry with a Sharp Edge
The Spade Beard is not your average facial hair.
Inspired by the inverted spade symbol on playing cards, this beard is shaped like a pointed triangle: wide at the cheeks and tapering neatly at the chin. The moustache? Optional.
It’s a beard for men who treat grooming like an art form – and precision like a virtue.
