Cosmetics, Beauty / baffi
English term or phrase: you can make out the shape of the ‘stash
Like some other moustaches, the Horseshoe 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 horseshoe, 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.

Explanation:
cioè tenete sempre ben rasati il collo e le guance in modo da poter distinguere chiaramente la forma dei baffi e decidere così la (loro) dimensione/grandezza/misura che più si addice al vostro viso.
