Pencil Mustache – The Refined Mustache for Gentlemen

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

💡 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.

🧼 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

🧠 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

✅ 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.

⚙️ Quick Routine & Application

• Cleanse: Wash gently 2–3× per week – avoids dryness

• Hydrate: Apply 2–4 drops of beard oil or balm – keeps it soft and healthy

• Contour: Use transparent shaving gel & sharp blades – cheek line clean, neckline two fingers above Adam’s apple

❓Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I wash a mustache like this?

2–3 times a week is enough – refresh with water in between.

Why is my mustache itchy at first?

Use less shampoo, apply a few drops of oil daily, and massage the skin underneath.

Can I pair it with a beard?

Traditionally, no – but if styled well, a sharp goatee or chin strap might work.
