Chin strap beard
A thin strip of beard that runs along the jawbone from one ear to the other. There’s no mustache and the cheeks are shaved. It outlines the jaw like a pen line, for a crisp, modern look.

“I’d like a chin strap beard. It should start at my sideburns, follow the jawbone and meet at the front of my chin. Please keep the strip about a finger wide, at 4 millimeters and symmetrical. Remove the mustache and shave my cheeks and neck clean.”

About Chin Strap
The beard starts at the sideburns, runs over the jawbone and meets at the front of the chin. The strip is usually about a finger wide and kept at 3 to 6 millimeters. The whole effect comes from a crisp line, so the top and bottom edges are cleaned up daily or every other day with a razor or a detail trimmer.
On a round face, tracing the jaw gives the face an angular frame. On a heart-shaped face, it adds visual weight around a narrow chin, and on an oval face, it sharpens the features. It takes three to five weeks for the strip to look full and unbroken. It works well with short hairstyles like a fade, high fade, Edgar cut or buzz cut.
What’s the difference between a chin strap and a short boxed beard?
A short boxed beard also covers the cheeks and mustache. A chin strap is just a thin strip along the jawbone. Try both on the same photo to see which one shows off your jawline better.
How do I set a chin strap line?
Have a barber set it the first time, then keep it at home by cleaning the upper edge a little above the jawbone and the lower edge just below it.
