Hi, you're watching VisiHow. Today, we're going to show you how to shave a pirate beard. As you can see, now I've got a goatee, which is a great start to a pirate beard. Also got some stray hairs over there, but that's what happens when you shave.

Steps

1
You'll notice that my face is a little soapy
.
That's because I've got some soap on there. We'll need a little more soap.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
2
To do that, we'll get a bar and put some soap in our hands
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
3
Then rub that on our face just like that
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
4
Now what I'm going to do is rinse my hands off in a little bucket of water
.
Then rinse the razor off. Now let's get started with our little pirate beard. Now those of you may wonder what kind of pirate bread I am going to have because sometimes I have very crazy big beards. Well, I'm from the Princess Bride era, and I'm going to have a pirate beard like the Dread Pirate Roberts had. At least the Dread Pirate Roberts who wasn't a Pro wrestler, you want a Dread Pirate Roberts Pro wrestler beard you would go with something like I have now.

5
To start with, we just need a little bit at the bottom - so we shave down each side
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6
Tighten up your lips by moving your lip over your teeth, and then pulling down as you go
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7
Same thing on this side
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
Use the edges on your mouth as a guideline for where to start
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9
Remember to rinse your razor frequently
.
Now, this is the part where you can get creative. First get rid of this stuff right here unless you want to have some side mustache going on.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10
Notice I'm using my tongue to push out my cheek in different places
.
The most important part is the pirate triangle, which is right down here.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
Trim that up a bit
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
It should be a triangle that runs straight down like your nose
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13
It shouldn't be much wider than your nose either, unless you've got an enormously wide nose
.
In which case, you can make it a little smaller.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
We're going to trim this up a bit
.
This is my personal preference here. Obviously you can do it your own way. Put some soap here to make sure things are smoother.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
Move it in a bit
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16
You do not want an exact triangle replica, or it'll look like your face is an hourglass and you are simply passing the time until you find a good razor to shave with
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17
I am going to shave the edges a bit
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
18
In each of these cases, I'm using my nose as a guide for this part under my lip
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
19
Then I'm using this part under my lip as a guide for what's under on my chin
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
20
So as you can see now, I've got less here on this side than I do here on this side
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
21
So I'm going to clean that up a bit
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
22
It is also worth noting that, at least for me, I don't love pirate beards
.
In fact I don't even like them that much, but my son thinks they are pretty cool, and I do love him.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
23
Make sure your pirate beard is shaved the right way
.
If it's off to the side, you're going to look a bit goofy.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
24
OK., that's it, the pirate bread part done
.
'Princess Bride' style Not perfect, but I'm not looking in the mirror at the moment either. Actually, it looks pretty bad to me. There, that makes it look better. You don't need much hair - just a little bit. Some people like it longer. I don't.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
25
Next thing we're going to do is trim the top
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
26
Then the sides
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
27
Now we're going to clean the underside a bit as well
.
Again, be very careful. You are using a razor on your lip.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
28
Trim any extra edges off
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
29
And more or less, there you have it ladies and gentlemen - a pirate beard
.
Probably wouldn't make every pirate out there proud, but it makes me proud and I'm going to wear it.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
30
Shave up like this just to clean up the extra hairs
.
In this case, anyone getting next to you is going to enjoy the smooth of this part and the rough of this part.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
31
That's it ladies and gentlemen
.
When you're done, make sure you say "Arrrgh!" like a pirate.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
