A device for guiding grooming of facial hair on a face and methods for using the device are disclosed. The device may include a strip of flexible material with an adhesive surface. The adhesive surface may temporarily attach the strip to a face having at least some facial hair. At least one edge of the strip may have a selected shape. The strip may be positioned on the face to cover a portion of the facial hair to be retained on the face while allowing an exposed portion of the facial hair to be removed by a shaving device. At least some part of the exposed portion of the facial hair lies along the edge of the strip with the selected shape.
