    Tony Stark’s iconic beard is actually a new take on an old classic. The anchor beard features a low beard without sideburns that actually creates an “anchor” effect when viewed from the front. The addition of a disconnected but sleek and trimmed mustache adds a modern style to the classic look. [1]

    Start by trimming down all of your beard hairs so they’re the same length, which will make it easier for you to style and shape an anchor beard. [2] Use a pair of electric clippers with a medium-length guard and shave your sideburns, chin, and mustache. [3]
    • Electric clippers are the way to go for shaping an anchor beard.

    Use your clippers to shave your neck and create a clean, sharp jawline. Then, shave off your sideburns from your hairline down to the top of your jawline so you’re left with a floating, low beard. [4]

    Tony Stark’s mustache isn’t actually connected to his beard like a goatee. Instead, there’s a small separation between the two, which you can easily create by trimming away a small section right where your mustache connects to your beard. [5]

    Take a pair of clippers and attach a low guard to it. Hold the clippers at a downward angle and shave your mustache using downward strokes so the hairs are brushed in the same direction and trimmed evenly. [6]

    Remove the guard from your clippers. Use the unguarded clippers to trim an even line just above your upper lip. Make sure the line is clean and consistent. [7]

    Use your clippers to draw a “U” from behind each ear, behind your jawbone, and down to a point on your neck. Trim down the length of the hairs on your cheek so your lower beard hairs are longer, which will make your beard look more full. [8]

    If you’re new to shaving your beard yourself, you can make it a little easier by taking it slow. [9] Use a pair of electric clippers and attach a higher guard. Shave your beard in front of a mirror so you can see what you’re doing. Work your way down to lower settings by switching the guard out until you’re satisfied with the shape of your beard. [10]

    Getting in good shape and living a healthy life can help you enhance the hair you already have. Try exercising and eating right. Nowadays, there are also beard implant procedures available. These work through moving hair around your body and artificially implanting it to help you grow a beard.
