The Anchor is a small, pointed beard that has a patch running up the middle of the chin so the whole thing looks like an arrow pointing downward. It's often paired with a moustache. Like many facial hairstyles, this one gets its name from its appearance. Because it is so hard to find any modern-day or historical examples of an Anchor beard, it might be the kind of style that only the most out-there, daring souls want to attempt. With so many guys wearing Soul Patches and Circle Beards these days, perhaps the Anchor offers a true trend-setting opportunity.

To get the Anchor, you'll need to grow out your beard for several weeks, then shave the cheek area down to the jaw line. Next, use a single-blade trimmer to sculpt around the chin and the fringe that runs up the middle. To keep the shape of the downward-pointing arrow at the bottom, use a moustache wax or pomade.
