Here's a recent one with the ends waxed out straight.
Here's a recent one with the ends waxed out straight.
A photo would be nice.I'm getting some mustache static from folks that is puzzling me. I like a lot of styles, including vintage/classic and steampunk. Folks seem to enjoy my tweeds and knickers/breeches and various hats.
I recently began sporting a *handlebar mustache* and it's causing quite a stir. I thought it was just fun and nifty. I like the bold voyageur/pirate angle and it's just plain classic/classy, I would think.
Mostly, I manage a "different but good" response. )

Friends are baffled. People don't recognize me. Family threatens scissors.
If I let it "down" and it droops like a Harley biker then they're fine. They like my beard and/or 'stache short and bristly. I thought a flowing, curvy look would be a nice change. Is it a face-shape thing? Are there certain faces that like 'em and others don't? Maybe it just doesn't work on me. It just seems like it shouldn't be a big deal. It's not huge. Medium. Family has said they'd rather I had a short horseshoe which, again, seems "biker" to me and not steampunk/classic so much.
I kinda like the vintage tweed fixie bike culture that's blooming of late. A handlebar seems fitting. It's now ski season and I also go vintage on skis. So why wouldn't a handlebar fit there, too?
They can't say exactly why they hate it. But I can't say exactly why I like it, though I have those leads above. So I'm stuck. Ideas? I'll head over to the Handlebarclub.com and see what's up there...
I do envey your mustache. I wish mine grew so full, alas I have a slightly bald philtrum.
"It is an art, the growing of the moustache! I have sympathy for all who attempt it.”
I've seen some excellent 'taches with little in the centre. The only way to know how it'll look is to let it grow!
