  1. 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]

  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.
  2. 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]
  3. 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]

  1. 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]
  2. 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]

  1. 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]

  1. 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]
