When it comes to facial hair, the style options are limitless—but that doesn’t mean every style is right for you. You have to consider your face shape and the level of upkeep you’re willing to commit to, but other than that, trying different facial hair styles is a great way to switch up your look. After all, if you don’t like it, you can just shave it all and start from scratch.

Celebrities are the perfect place to get facial hair style inspiration and it’s easier than ever with a little help from Philips much-hyped OneBlade. Instead of fumbling with multiple products, the electric groomer with its precision edging blade can help you get that classic celebrity-approved style you’ve always wanted to try out.

The Weeknd’s perfectly groomed beard

The Weeknd has always made a statement with his hair, but now that he’s rocking a shorter style, his facial hair is even more prominent. His style looks best on a guy who can grow a thick beard, but the key is to never let it get too long and always keep the edges precise. You can use OneBlade to keep it looking neat and tidy.

Ryan Gosling’s soul patch with moustache

This might seem like a hard look to pull off unless you’re, well, Ryan Gosling, but it can be done by just about any guy who has the ability to grow a beard. Just grow your beard to the desired length and then shave everything except a moustache and a soul patch. This is a good one to try if you were planning on shaving everything off anyway because if you mess up, it’s easy to get rid of. For the patch, start bigger and eyeball it, shaving a little more until it’s the right size for you. Maintenance is just a matter of shaving around it and trimming when it starts to get too long.

Bradley Cooper’s scruff

The 5 o’clock shadow look usually works best on guys who have coarse hair that grows in thick and not patchy. All you have to do is let it grow as usual and go over it with a beard and hair trimmer every day or two to make sure it’s all the same length and looks less like you forgot to shave and more like you know what you’re doing.

Jared Leto’s shaggy beard

Growing a beard like Jared Leto’s is mostly about patience, but there’s a little more to keeping it looking good than just not shaving for a few months. Beard oil will keep your facial hair and the skin underneath it moisturized as well as making sure it stays free of flakes and smelling fresh. After all, you should be keeping the hair on your face just as clean as you keep the hair on your head.

Idris Elba’s goatee

For the guy who’s going grey, there isn’t anything more distinguished looking than a well-groomed goatee. The first step is building up a few weeks of growth, then you’ll be able to shape it into the goatee of your dreams. Use OneBlade‘s stubble attachments to get your desired length and then carefully shape the edges to match up with the natural width of your moustache. Take things slow to make sure both sides are symmetrical because if they aren’t, you might have to go clean shaven and start the process all over again.

Channing Tatum’s skinny goatee

There’s a standard goatee and then there’s the meticulously sculpted goatee that you might think only belongs on a member of a 90s boy band. But it actually suits Channing Tatum’s fuller, square-shaped face. You’ll have to use OneBlade's precision edging blade to get the straight, precise lines and it might be a little time consuming than a more unkempt-looking style, but the more often you do it, the easier it will get.

Charlie Hunnam’s beard

Blonds or redheads can pull off a bushy beard just as well as dark-haired guys can. Think Chris Hemsworth, Prince Harry, or of course, Charlie Hunnam. To get this look, you’ll have to let your beard grow freely, but also keep up with trims and make sure it’s staying an even length all around or growing longer in the chin area but shorter on the sides like Hunnam’s.

David Beckham versatile look

David Beckham’s facial hair always looks impeccable and that’s because he keeps it perfectly trimmed no matter what length and style he’s currently sporting. Beard oil will keep your facial hair healthy and encourage it to grow so you’ll have more opportunities to switch up your style.

Lebron James’ unique beard

Lebron James can do anything he wants and that extends to his, sometimes unconventional, facial hair. He usually has more of a full beard with a separately groomed moustache that doesn’t connect. A beard like his would require a month or two of growth and then a little work to sculpt it the way you want. OneBlade’s precision edging blade will keep the lines clean and make sure the moustache and beard remain separate entities.

Johnny Depp’s iconic moustache

The facial hair is an integral part of one of Depp’s most popular characters, Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. The moustache, soul patch and chin beard are a risky combination for most guys, but if Depp can pull it off, anyone can. Guys whose facial hair tends to grow in a bit patchy might actually have an easier time accomplishing this look since in requires clean-shaven cheeks. Just remember to trim the moustache hairs when they start to grow too long.
