A Special Shaving Moment: Solving the Mustache Mystery with ROMAIN

It’s not every day that we get a call from the team at Studio Brussel, but when they reached out with a very particular request, we knew this was going to be a fun one. A listener had been struggling to shape his mustache into something worthy of admiration, and after some frustration, they thought of ROMAIN.

This was a challenge we couldn’t resist. Stijn De Sutter, always up for the task of solving grooming conundrums, was invited to the studio to tackle the mustache dilemma live on air with Linde Merkpoel. And so, off Stijn went to Brussels, ready to work his magic.

The Secrets to Growing the Perfect Mustache

For many, a mustache is more than just facial hair; it’s a statement, a personal trademark. But achieving the perfect ‘stache—long, full, and sculpted—takes time and care. One of the most valuable tips Stijn shared with the listeners is that proper mustache care begins with hydration.

The key to growing a magnificent mustache? Conditioning. A mustache needs moisture and attention to grow thick and strong. We recommend using a high-quality mustache wax—something that Stijn swears by to keep the hair in place while ensuring it stays soft and healthy. Regular application is crucial. And don’t forget: leave it alone! That’s right, one of the hardest parts of growing a mustache is patience. In the early stages, you simply have to resist the urge to trim. Let it grow, let it flourish.

Shaping: The Fine Art of Mustache Maintenance

As Stijn explained on air, once the mustache is growing and has reached a good length, it’s time to give it a little care. The next step is to invest in a small pair of scissors (available at ROMAIN, of course!) for those fine-tuning moments. The trick here is to carefully trim only the tips—just enough to keep it neat and tidy. Small, gentle snips are all it takes to ensure your mustache looks sculpted and sharp without taking away from its natural shape.

These are the basics, but as Stijn often says, there’s always more to discover about grooming. Every man’s face is different, and personalized attention can make all the difference.
