3 weeks so far no cutting. One week on the rest of my face, except I did cut around the mustache area with a number one. My moustache can curl slightly, training has begun, soon the handlebar.
Gents, I'd really like to grow a moustache. But like a pencil/small moustache. But my wife is dead against it. She likes me to have a beard, but I find it too thin and patchy to look smart. Do you have any inspiration to persuade her?
My wife hates me a) being unshaven b) growing a moustache c) growing a beard (maybe she just hates me?). So it's a massive barrier. But you should be careful, moustaches are really odd beasts and don't look good on everyone. Have you ever grown one? Do you know what it would look like on your face? They look bloody awful on me. So be warned!
I once had a barber ask if I wanted my moustache trimmed. I respectfully declined.Ok gentlemen, learn from my mistake. I'm new to my area so I looked up a barber shop that got good ratings. The haircut went well, and in fact looks good. My mistake was not being super specific when I also asked for a beard trimming to clean up some of the wild edges. The barber basically went to town, and by feel it didn't feel like he was going to deep on the line out. Still that's not the bad part. Again the beard wasn't too bad, still really full and the parts that were over trimmed will grow back quickly. Here's where it goes south and I should have stated up front that this was a no go zone. I assumed that the moustache being waxed into shape should have been an indicator to trim near but not into. Without warning and before I could object, protest, or even say niet the clippers nailed the mid section of my fairly full moustache. One side was hit so the deed was done, I couldn't really stop him at this point. Now I am trimmed down to about 1/4 inch in the middle section with handlebar ends. Plus a very full beard. Needles to say I was livid, and I wanted to strangle the barber, but I keep my composure and paid my bill and left. But I will never go back in there. I know it is only one barber of many there but you think that should always ask if you want something trimmed. He asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed before hand, but not the moustache?
Cheers!
