The Handlebar moustache comes from the look of handlebars on a motorcycle or bicycle. It's a thick moustache where the ends are pointed and turned slightly upward. It is often associated with motorcyclists, the Wild West or British armed forces. Soviet communist dictator Joseph Stalin wore a handlebar and it's not often seen among today's younger guys.

There are many varieties of the handlebar moustache, including the smaller sized Petite Handlebar. This moustache has the same shape as its namesake, and can be achieved by using moustache wax or by the methodical manual twisting of the ends.

Like other moustaches, the Handlebar could look unruly if you don't properly sculpt around it. Make sure to shave well on the chin and lower cheeks. Use a single-blade trimmer to keep up the sculpting of the Handlebar, employing moustache wax to style it as necessary. Keep the chin and cheeks well-shaved so that you can make out the shape of the 'stash, and commit to a size that fits your face, coming right down on either side of your chin.
