Our good friends at Wilkinson Sword have created the essential ‘Mo Styling’ guide for all Mo Bros taking part in the month long charity event.

Wilkinson Sword are sponsors of this year’s Movember campaign.

Mo Styling

Choosing which mo to grow is the first challenge of a new Mo Bro recruit. Check out the 6 custom mo designs below for inspiration. Keep in mind the size of your face – smaller faces need a small mo whereas more striking, larger faces need a more prominent style.

The Rascal

The Rascal

If ‘Danger’ is your middle name, style up this bad boy for a look crafted to roguish perfection.

How to: Grow your mo along the upper lip about 2cm in length. As it passes the edges of the mouth, groom the hair using a trimmer. Allow your mutton chops to flourish so they grow down your face and meet with your sculpted mo.

The Eccentric

The Eccentric

If you’re the off-the-wall life-and-soul, get trimming and create the minimal look with maximum effect.

How to: Precisely sculpt each side of your mo leaving only an inch of hair in the middle. The rest of your face has to be fuzz free, so use a decent razor for the best shave for your skin.

The Connoisseur

The Connoisseur

If you scream sophisticate and scoundrel in one, why not don the best way to finesse your face?

How to: Grow your mo in to a perfect rectangle along the upper lip, using a trimmer to create neat edges. Curl the ends up using your fingers and add a little wax to hold in place.

The Maverick

If you are a bit of a loose cannon then you’ll appreciate the crafted chaos of the marvellous mo on every wanted list.

The Maverick

How to: Grow hair over the upper lip and groom the edges so they finish about 1cm past your lip. Maintain the curved edges regularly and keep the length in check with a trimmer.

The Visionary

If your look and mind are way ahead of their time, shape the only style that can keep up.

How to: Grow the hair long above the upper lip so it can be parted and pulled to either side. Once the hair gets to a decent length maintain the neat edges with a trimmer.

About Movember

Movember is a charity event held throughout November to raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues. Known as Mo Bros, all participants register at the start of November with a clean-shaven face, then grow and groom their moustaches throughout November, raising as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.

Wilkinson Sword Classic

As well as producing modern day cartridge razor blade systems, Wilkinson Sword are also proud manufacturers of classic double edge razors.

So if you’re happy in your skin and want simplicity with performance then the Wilkinson Sword Classic is the razor for you. And The Shaving Shack sells Wilkinson Sword double edged razor blades at very competitive prices.
