Thread: Moustache Woes

I know exactly what you mean. I've tried the pomade/gel routine too, but my whiskers are so wirey and unruly that even that doesn't help much. When the stache ends up getting longer and is bugging me what I often end up doing, and it's mostly an unconcious thing, is to use 2 fingers to brush the hairs to each side, which more or less "trains" it over time. All part of the responsibilities of wearing the 'stache....

I feel your pain as well. My 'stache is pretty close to where it was before the "incident" last August. Currently the "appendages" are 2 inches long. I've spent quite a bit of time pulling the wiskers out of the way as I ate or drank and at times it was severly annoying. One of the suggestions I've seen many times (but never actually followed) was to get some wax and use just enough to hold the hairs in place but out the way of your mouth, training the whiskers to lay where they should. You could pick up some clubman pretty easily but I prefer some of the better waxes that are available. I've mostly been using Oregon Wild Hair but recently found a new company here in Portland Mans Face Stuff Handmade Moustache Wax Portland by MansFaceStuff they have a few scented waxes like cinnamon and "all nighter" that's supposed to smell like pipe tobacco and sweet coffee. Both of these companies sell travel tubes like the chapstick tubes that come in real handy and make it easier to apply if you are on the go. Anyway, good luck with your stache I'm sure it'll be awesome when it grows up

Back when I rocked a serious handlebar Oregon Wild Hair was my go to wax. I've also heard good things about Firehouse. My current stash is getting trained but it doesn't yet have the length for anything but really, really marginal baby handlebars. The PITA stage normally means I'm about 3-4 weeks out from an entry level handlebar. I think once I get a slammin handlebar back, I'll not be trimming it again.
