How to shave your pubes: A guide on the best way to trim pubic hair for men
Frank Zappa did many great things, and one of them was creating this iconic facial hair look. It’s a relatively easy look to recreate at home, so let’s break down the steps to show you how to trim a Frank Zappa moustache—one of the most popular moustache styles. Keep an eye on the hair length to avoid an accidental horseshoe moustache instead. Take care to avoid the easy mistakes of creating a French beard, a Van Dyke beard, or a handlebar moustache as well.
Half the Zappa is wearing it with confidence. Shave this design into your face and strut everywhere you go, otherwise the look isn’t quite complete. Just like the man, the Zappa moustache is a true original, and anyone who wears it needs to do it justice.
To do the moustache justice, you need to make sure you get it right. It’s easy for it to accidentally become a horseshoe or a goatee if you let it grow too long without trimming it. Put the time and effort in at the beginning and maintenance will be a lot easier. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered in five easy steps to trim the perfect Frank Zappa moustache.
Step 2: Outline the moustache
Use a precision trimmer and trim the outline of the moustache. Shape it so that it extends down towards your chin. Let it extend at least an inch downwards to create the iconic Zappa shape. For now, leave the space under your lower lip, we’ll get to that in the next step. Make sure you have the right overall shape first.

Switch to a mini foil shaver to define your soul patch. With a steady hand, give your soul patch the square shape it needs to fully embody the Frank Zappa look. You can also tidy up the moustache to make a clean line at this point as well with the mini foil shaver.
Don’t get too eager with your styling—the last thing you want is to trim too much and lose the essence of the Zappa.
Like with any clean shave, it’s important to moisturise your face once you’re done. To maintain the Zappa, keep shaving the rest of your face and give the moustache and soul patch a trim when necessary to keep them from growing messy and unkempt. Add in some styling product for a polished look when you want to dress the Zappa up.
