Pencil Mustache

[Connery]

I used to have one, but shaved it off because I was self-conscious of it not suiting me. Any input on whether I should bring it back?

Why not. It looks great!

Go for it Gene...I felt self-conscious and had loads of stick when i grew mine, but so what! I like it, and that's what counts.

The Duke is never questioned on whether his moustache is pencil or not, it is only referred to as the Duke's Stache.

I suppose this is a variation of the pencil mo

Cantinflas's aim was to have a distinctive moustache, and I think he succeeded

lollollol I know, but, this guy actually was a philanthropist. "Stone gave over $275 million to charity including civic groups, mental health and Christian organizations...long-time support of the Boys Clubs of America for over fifty years" are listed among his efforts.

Did you ever look into where his money came from?

Yes I have. However, for the purposes of this thread I am more interested in his perpetually black pencil thin mustache.

Do any of you have recommendations on grooming kits? I couldn't find much info on the moustache threads.

There seems to be a plethora out grooming kits, from Kmart/target walmart up to top o the line premo's. I want to avoid buying too cheap or too expensive, or the wrong things. I'm gonna try the pencil moustache, but as I can grow a lot of facial hair (I could probably easily grow a walrus style) I know I'll need a kit w/the right tools to manage the end result, and be able to work around the stache. I'm just completely new to this, and would appreciate anyone's experienced opinion on tools needed in the ongoing grooming of pencil thins.

...and this comes from someone whose lifelong shaving experience consists of barbasol shaving cream and gillette cartridges.

I keep my moustache in shape with an eyebow razor and a small scissor.
The eyebrow razor (pic below) is used to shape the top and the scissor for the bottom area over the lip. Eyebrow razors are sold in beauty shops. The price is somewhere around three for a buck.
