The Anchor beard is a hybrid of a chinstrap, goatee, and pencil mustache. It forms a shape resembling a nautical anchor and suits men with square or oblong faces.

To get the Anchor right, a beardman’s face must be free of sideburns, but have a beard that extends along the jawline and is then styled to a point. This point should be connected to a pencil mustache so that the overall shape is anchor-like. A word of caution regarding this style: it can be tricky to get right as it’s a combination of many styles, namely the Chinstrap, the Goatee and the Handlebar. The Anchor style suits beardsmen with square or oblong shaped faces the best, so it’s not a beard style that anyone can just pull off.

This sharp, stylish beard isn’t easy to pull off—but we’ll make sure you do. Come to Heritage Club Barbershop in South Tampa for clean, confident Anchor beard styling.
