The Mustache Thread

[fpessanha]

I am using Oregon Wild Hair

It is a local company. The product is great. You can definitely get a Dali style out of the hold.

Don't let the fact that they use musk fool you. The stuff smells like honey and holds firm but not stiff if that makes sense. Easily molds back in the day if you have a fly away. And does not melt over hot coffee.

This wax interests me... Do you think this might be a good "entry level" mustache wax? Might it work on a small, yet well groomed mustache? I mean, I am willing to grow some points, but I am definitetly not in the craving for a big handle-bar mustache... my goal is a small RAF like lip appendage with curvy points. Something discrete... What do you think?
Thanks for pointing this out. (No pun intended... )

Hey guys, most of my shaving years have been
spent clean-shaven, but I recently took the time
to experiment with a couple of different styles
when I was staying in California (and the wife
as safely secured in Canada).

I tried a goatee + mustache, small goatee +
soul-patch + mustache, and soul-patch +
mustache.

When I got back home, it took only hours before
SWMBO was obeyed. I miss it now, so the top
lip is going into hiding again and I'll have to deal
with the consequences!

Wish me luck boys,

- Scott

To quote my dear granddad: "A kiss without a moustache, is like an egg without salt"


(And boy do I like quoting this; the other way round as well...)


Good luck Scott!

Good luck, Scott!

I've suffered some presure when I decided to grow out my mustache, this time. But I thrived and the lip-rug is living up to be a true mustache. My girlfriend still finds a way to keep the presure but I ignore it. I just think that this is not the thing that will make her leave me... and you know what? After just 2 months of shrubbiness, I believe that she has grown to like it! She never says it, though. I remember that the first time I grew a respectable under-nose-fluffyness she didn't like it. But when I shaved it... she actually sounded a bit disapointed!

So... despite what our women say, they like the mustaches. That's it!

I grew a beard/stache combo my Freshman year of college for that year and aside from that, a stache/goatee combo last year for about a month or two at the most. It itched around the sides of my lips something fierce and my wife wasn't really into it.

She wasn't a fan not so much for the appearance aspect but the kissing aspect. I didn't know how to get around that obstacle so the facial hair took a trip.

Once when I sliced my upper lip with a razor I grew my mustache for a few days. But as soon as I was able I had to shaving it because it made me look like an out of work gay porn star.

X - Has your wax showed up yet? I recently found a local place with shaving supplies that also carries the tins of OWH. Lucky me

That's one of the uncomfortable in between stages. It's followed by the 'I look like a cop' stage. I combat them by growing the goatee as well. When I shave the beard I'll have to keep a soul patch to combat the 'I'm a nerd with a waxed mustache' stage.
