Open ShaveMe and you are looking at yourself, with the cut lines of your beard or shave style already drawn on your face. THE MIRROR โ€ข Live front camera, edge to edge, from the moment the app opens โ€ข Your usual style is drawn on your face and re-locks every frame โ€ข Change the style, see the numbered steps, or read the full guide โ€” without leaving the mirror โ€ข Cheek line, neckline, jawline, mustache edge, sideburn level โ€ข Prefer a photo? Take three โ€” front, left, right โ€” and study the lines at your own pace ON YOUR PHONE, NOT A SERVER Face detection runs inside the app. No account. No analytics. Nothing you see in the mirror is ever uploaded. 49 STYLES, FROM EVERYWHERE Not only the shapes an American barber keeps on the wall. Designer stubble and the short boxed beard, yes, and also the Khaleeji and the shanab, Turkish and Persian cuts, Mexican and Brazilian shapes, European handlebars, and the beards worn for faith and custom around the world. Each one has its own cut-line diagram, numbered steps, and a note on where it comes from. MAKE IT YOURS Four themes and six accent colours in Settings โ€” paper, sand, charcoal, midnight โ€” so it is easy on your eyes at 6am. TIPS & CARE 14 guides. Guard sizes in millimetres. Shaving with the grain. Razor burn vs ingrown hairs. Oil vs balm vs butter. Working with patchy growth. The four-week plan. KIT Gear the guides refer to, on Amazon. Opens in your browser. As an Amazon Associate, ShaveMe earns from qualifying purchases. TWO WEEKS FREE, THEN $0.99 Everything is unlocked for your first 14 days. After that, five styles and six care guides stay free, and a single $0.99 purchase keeps the rest. No subscription, no account, nothing to cancel. ShaveMe is a grooming guide, not medical advice.
