Beards without mustaches are nothing new. While many men might think that a beard and a mustache are inseparable, history has shown us otherwise.
From Abraham Lincoln to Hugh Jackman, mustache-less beards have been in fashion for centuries.
Today, in the 21st century, there is even more narrowing down of beards without mustaches to goatees without mustaches.
In this article, we will tell you everything that you need to know about the goatee without mustache beard styles.
We will tell you how to craft one for yourself, how to maintain it, and also the reasons why someone might want such a beard style.
Why Would Someone Want A Beard Without A Mustache
While many of you might wonder why someone would want a beard without a mustache, there could be many reasons why someone might want a beard without a mustache.
Let us look at some of the reasons.
Patchiness is a common problem that plagues men across the world.
Patchy hair can leave one with feelings of low self-esteem and even depression. In such a scenario, it is not uncommon for someone to think that it is better not to grow facial hair that looks thin or wispy.
That could be a reason for not keeping a mustache.
Religion could be another reason. For example, men from the Amish community in Pennsylvania only grow a beard without a mustache because of religious inclinations.

For individuals with a diamond-shaped face or elongated face, a beard without a mustache adds breadth to the chin and hides the thinness of the chin.
And some of the simplest reasons might be that a wife or a girlfriend simply doesn’t like the mustache.
The above are just some of the reasons why someone might want a bear without a mustache.
Let us now look at the ways to grow this style and the tools required to do so.
What tools do I need to grow and maintain this style?
The two main tools that the growth of this beard demands are:
- A Razor
- An Electric Trimmer
The razor is required for a smooth mustache and neck, while the trimmer can help you keep the beard at a manageable length.

How to Grow A Goatee Without a Mustache?
Here is a step-by-step guide to growing the goatee no mustache but there are a lot of goatee styles which we will describe exactly below this how-to guide.
This is a general guide on how to do it.
Step 1
The first step involves choosing a comb length on your trimmer that is correct for you. Choose according to the look you have in mind.
The comb attachments on most trimmers will be 2mm, 4mm, and 6mm.
Step 2
In this step, you need to make sure that your beard length is of even length. Trimming your facial hair before shaving will help to eliminate tug and pull while shaving.
The benefit of this is that there will be no clogged blades later on.
Step 3
Now it’s time to define your goatee. Remove the comb attachment from your trimmer and define the shape of your beard now. To get the best results, ensure that the hair on your neck and cheeks is short.
Step 4
It is a common mistake by inexperienced shavers to trim off too much hair in the quest for perfectly even hair.
The naked eye can play tricks, and as such, it is best to shave slowly and pause from time to time to check the length.
Step 5
Prepare your face for shaving by washing your face with warm water. Use a transparent shave gel to lather the parts of your face that you need to clean-shave, i.e., the non-goatee parts.
A shave gel can come in handy for protection from cuts and nicks.
Step 6
Use light and gentle strokes to shave. The razor blades for the styler will come into play now.
Step 7
Wash Your Blades
When you wash your blades, you are helping your shave because the blades often get clogged with hair or shaving cream on the edges.
Rinsing the razor helps to get optimum performance from it.
Step 8
Use a precision blade to give shape to the goatee and create a clean outline.
Step 9
Congratulations, you’re done. Now you need to rinse, dry your face, and apply an aftershave moisturizer to help your skin relax.
Now you can show off your goatee without a mustache look to the world.
You now have the keys to shape the goatee without the mustache of your dreams. However, did you think that there is just one goatee without a mustache style?
If so, it’s time to open your eyes to the different styles of a goatee without a mustache that you can have.
Let’s proceed.
Best Goatee Styles Without A Mustache
We will start off with the Chinstrap and Goatee style.
This is a goatee style without a mustache where the hair should begin at the edges of the mouth and extend up to the chin and then trace themselves along the jawline.
At the very outset, let us tell you that this is not an easy style to maintain. However, if you are dedicated enough to maintain it, you’ll find yourself getting a look that will draw admiration everywhere.
So, if you think that daily trimming is something that you’ll manage, then dive right in.
The long goatee is not a high-maintenance beard, and at the same time, it ensures that you can stand out from the crowd because of your looks.
True to its name, your task in maintaining this beard is to ensure that there is stubble on the mustache, cheeks, and jawline region.
You need to craft your goatee, starting from the sides of the mouth and going as low as desired.
Minimal trimming will be required to make sure that there are no rogue hairs that fly out long and directionless.
This is a look that goes well with any kind of occasion – casual or formal.
If you have a round face, the classic goatee is apt for you.
The cheeks are completely shaved, and the beard sits below your lower lip.
The beard needs to be trimmed and short.
This is a beard style that is most suited for men with a square face. The middle of the chin consists of a triangular beard, and that is about it. There is no
facial hair on the sides.
There is no distracting hair elsewhere but just the triangular patch.
This is a style that is suitable for the inner attention-seeker inside you. Color the goatee any way you want, and you are bound to stand out in a crowd.
We suggest that you apply moisturizer or beard gel to sustain a glossy appearance for your beard.
This look is particularly great for a person who is bald. Celebrities have worn this look on various occasions. If you want to catch attention and make an impression, look to wear this style.
The Norse Skipper Goatee without a Mustache is a goatee that resembles a classic goatee but has thick and long hair. The best thing about this goatee is that it goes with any facial structure.
The cheeks are completely shaved, and the beard is wider at the chin.
This beard will absolutely rock with a fringe haircut.
The Goat Patch is a wide straight line of hair extending from the middle below the lower lip to the middle of the chin in a straight line.
It is similar to the chin hair of a goat and hence the name goat patch.
It makes a face look longer, but it is suitable for all kinds of faces.
This is another look that can make you stand out in the crowd.
Except for the goat patch, there is no hair on the rest of the face in this look.
As you would know by now, the soul patch is the blip of facial hair just below the lower lip and above the chin. So, in essence, the soul patch goatee is a soul patch.
There is no other facial hair on your face except for the soul patch in this look.
This is another look that goes well with bald heads and is good for relatively round faces.
Do not let the small size of the beard mislead you.
It creates a minimalist yet powerful impression in the minds of onlookers.
Conclusion
The mustache-less goatee makes a powerful statement of strength and masculinity. It also helps to give the appearance of a wide chin and balances your features.
Use the guide above and get your desired goatee without a mustache style.
