Slim. Elegant. Underrated.

The Pencil Mustache is the epitome of sophistication.

Subtle, yet impactful – this sleek mustache style brings back the charm of classic elegance.

Perfect for men with finesse and a love for minimalism.

🔎 What is a Pencil Mustache?

The Pencil Mustache is a very thin, precisely trimmed mustache that runs just above the upper lip – as if drawn with a pencil.

It requires daily precision – every millimeter counts.

  • Shape: Thin horizontal line, either continuous or split in the center

  • Maintenance: High – daily touch-ups recommended

  • Effect: Smart, charming, and detail-driven

đź’ˇ Who suits the Pencil Mustache?

The Pencil Mustache works especially well for:

  • Oval or narrow face shapes

  • Smaller or medium-sized upper lips

  • Men with calm confidence and a clean aesthetic

👉 Not ideal for very thick beard growth – it can quickly look messy.

đź§Ľ Styling & Maintenance

This mustache thrives on precision grooming.

Without sharp lines, it can easily appear untidy.

You’ll need:

  • MADEMEN Beard Oil – for healthy, soft skin & hair

  • MADEMEN Mustache Wax – to maintain shape and definition

  • Small mustache brush – for precision grooming

  • Classic beard scissors – to shape the edges

đź§  Pro Tips for Styling

  • Trim daily under bright light or with a magnifying mirror

  • Keep the line razor-sharp and even (unless you go for a split style)

  • No hair below the lip line – clean is key

  • Use a little wax to hold the shape without stiffening

âś… In short

The Pencil Mustache is subtle – but unforgettable.

A style for men with attention to detail, poise, and a love for timeless class.

Treat it right, and it will reward you with an effortlessly distinctive look.
