My Perfect Goatee Shaving Template

This is such an amazing product and I wish I had known about it when I first decided to grow a goatee. Makes it so easy. I cannot speak for others, but this product is well built. And I believe as long as I take care of it and use it as directed, it will last a long time.

Works great, the adjustability is very nice to fit/cut how you want, quick and easy would recommend!

This has been a great product. Before this, I had to guess how far to shave my goatee on all sides. The hardest part for me was always the bottom of my goatee and lately it was looking bad so I thought I would give this product a chance. I found out that I wasn't really doing a great job on my own! I had to grow a strip of hair on my right side because I had always shaved that too much. The bottom took awhile to grow back in evenly too. I like to comb my goatee down when I put this on and then shave any hairs that stick out. It really gives a straight edge. I don't have a very thick goatee, which I wish I could grow, but at least the shape of it is correct now. Cons: I have to make this as wide as it will go for the shape I want. Luckily it is wide enough for me. The problem is that the plastic screws hold ok, but since I have them so tight sometimes I will accidentally touch them and they will screw back in on me. If I wasn't paying attention I could mess up my goatee if this happened (shave too much). The wider you spread it, the bigger of a gap there is on the bottom. I thought maybe it would be ok and the first time I used it I carefully shaved the bottom of my goatee and tried to miss the gap. Well...when I was done I somehow had shaved that gap too! I had about a half inch spot missing in the bottom of my goatee. Luckily my hair was long enough to cover it while it grew back in. To solve this problem I put a band-aid across the bottom to fill in that gap. I wish they had built a plastic flap that could be used to cover that area if you wanted a wider goatee... I don't know if this is a con, but when I first started growing a goatee I was told and read that you normally have sharp edges to it. So it is like a box, straight down on the side and straight across. That is how I always did it. This will give you rounded edges. I don't really mind but thought I would mention it. Summary: I do like it. It has made my goatee look better and with a few adjustments and being cautious, it works well.

In 2009, I purchased my first GoateeSaver and like many other people, I thought it looked `interesting' and wasn't sure if it would work or not. I was tired of going through the process of shaving my goatee off because I couldn't get it just right. When I came across the GoateeSaver, I took a chance and bought it. I had to get used to the template, but after I got the feel for the GoateeSaver, I was completely sold. Yes, it took a few times shaving to get used to it, but I can honestly say that I don't know how I ever keep my goatee looking presentable (maybe it wasn't) without it but it is really easy now. It is also precise and predictable. The part that I like the most is when I finish shaving with it, the sides of my goatee have a sharp edge that really does look incredible. This Amazon purchase is my 3rd GoateeSaver to buy because I wanted one for my overnight bag and am giving my brother one because he keeps asking about my goatee (yes, it is a little odd, but he also thinks it looks good) . I also want to say that the company did take care of me when my house was totally destroyed in the 2011 tornado in Springfield Massachusetts. I wrote the company expecting to get a form letter back, but I got a nice reply. I was able to explain the situation and they sent me a free GoateeSaver and even picked up the postage :) One last item is that I read some of the 1 star reviews about it not fitting a larger face and I recently lost 80 lbs. and can say that it fit the larger guy I was and now the smaller guy that was always trying to get out. I hate buying products that turn out to be junk, but this is not one of those products. I wanted to write this review because I do appreciate other consumers that have used the product and share their opinion with me. The GoateeSaver is a great buy. Thanks Daniel B.

I love the concept of this product and was really excited to try it out. I am super anal about getting my goatee even on both sides and usually end up making a mistake on it to the point where I shave it off and start over. So the idea of a template was very exciting. The issue I have with the Goatee saver is that it is very much a one size fits some and not all. The mouthpiece has three settings where you move it up or down to lengthen the goatee. It did not seem to matter what setting I put it on it never really seemed to make a difference. The bottom of the goatee was always just under my chin. I also disliked how it rounded the corners of the goatee off. I think part of the issue was I am a bit of a heavy set guy and the template was simply made for men with smaller features because it never seemed to fit my face correctly. Basically I did not think that there were enough adjustments that could be made to accommodate different face types and even different goatee types. If you are a skinny dude and liked the style of the goatee in the picture this product will probably work really well for you. If you are a bigger dude who likes a wider and longer goatee than this probably won't work for you. On the upside I did decide to keep it because for nothing else it was something that I could put over the top of my goatee to allow for a quick shaving of the rest of my beard. I could then remove it and do the close in shaving afterward. So while it did not work for me for defining my beard line it did help as an overall beard guard. I hope that in the future they come out with a template for bigger faces and different shapes/lengths.

It’s a nice invention. But I just went back to doing it by hand. I don’t know why.

At first I was skeptical of this product. However, I decided to give it a shot. I'm one of those people who grows in nice facial hair but always seems to screw up trimming it and keeping it symmetrical. Drives me crazy! The device arrived very quickly and is packaged nicely. The key, imo, is fitting it properly to your face by adjusting the three turning bars for top, middle and bottom. With a little trial and error, i found the fit I was hoping for, put in the mouthpiece and lathered up to shave. Once I got the hang of holding it flush to the face (not too hard, not soft enough to allow the edge of the razor to slip underneath the device) it was smooth sailing. I've used it three times now and my goatee has never been so even. Some guys are naturals at shaving straight, perfect goatees. For the rest of us, there is GoateeSaver. Kudos to the inventor. The device is well produced, adjusts nicely and is easy to clean. It's not magic. But after some experimentation, I believe just about anyone will come to appreciate and use this device if they have trouble maintaining a goatee. It's now a solid part of my grooming routine. A great stocking stuffer and smile maker! The wife laughs when she sees it but cannot deny the results. Love it! A+

This is the first product of this type that I purchased. It is quite handy and does a great job of achieving the desired result of my free-hand attempts (and frequent failures). I have used the template each time I've shaved over the past few weeks and I am pleased with the symmetry and well-shaped appearance of my facial hair. The template does have a few of drawbacks, however. 1-Users are limited in goatee shape. Before using the product, my goatee was shaped differently. All three guides on my template are adjusted out to the maximum setting but the template falls short of how I shaped my goatee before using the product. 2-The template does not lock in place once the guides are set. Users should be mindful of inadvertently adjusting the three guide settings with normal everyday handling. 3-The template cannot be designed to fit every face shape. The template does not fit as tightly under my chin as it does on my face. I still have to be careful when shaving under my chin to avoid a misshaped goatee. Even with the design shortcomings, this is still a great product and a huge improvement on my attempts to achieve satisfactory results without a template. I am happy with my purchase and would buy the product again.
