The Moustache

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice hat.
I can only grown a beard that big when I retire.

"Competitors"? If these guys didn't win . . .

The one on the left won top honors in the overall competition & won the Garibaldi beard class at Portland, Oct 2014.

We recently interviewed Tom Carradine for our vintage radio show Harry & Edna on the Wireless.

Now this chap has a moustache,

Now this is a mustache!

That is indeed a moustache! After going 55+ years clean-shaven, I started growing a beard & moustache a few months back. It's mostly white. Anyway, I quickly realized that (for me) facial hair means going to the barber more frequently so that my hair is always neatly groomed. The fellow above seems to be of the same school of thought!

So I might have found a place to post about my Moustache.... maybe this is the place.

I've always had a goatee or Stache ever since I could grow them. I can't grow a beard, just those. Just doesn't grow on my cheeks or neck.

This year I decided to go a full 365 days without trimming my Moustache. I'm on day 201 today! I didn't start clean shaven, so I have about 9 months of growth in all. Thought I might post my progress for the second half of the challenge on here.

I'm also a big fan of the old pictures of Staches in history. I've also been just a fan of the Stache since a kid.

Maybe there will be others that will share their pics and products.

Progess so far...

I've used Got2B Glued in the tube but don't know anything about Firehouse. I've settled on Layrite Cement Clay for when I want body & hold.

Firehouse Tacky is really good . I've used it for 2 years or better , and it does the job nicely . It never lets you down . Made by the guy near Jackson Miss who is a fireman , and a % of the sale goes to charity . I think 15% , and they announce the charity each year . Always a worthy cause .

I once tried Cowboy Stache Wax, still have it in fact. You have to use a blow dryer on hot to even get it out of the tin. You don't want to forget it's in your stache & run a comb thru it in the middle of the day! Only soap & water will get rid of it.

Thats a cool graphic on the tin HJ . I can comb through with the Tacky , but you have to do it before it sets up or you won't later .

 

[Hurricane Jack]

I've been using this because I like the bourbon scent instead of pine & conifers, etc. The hold is just average.

 

[Michael R.]

Firehouse doesn't have a scent . I heard Beardbrand Wax was good , but Firehouse is better according to reviews I've seen . The scent of that one sounds good .

When I used to wax my 'stache this was the only one of the many I tried that would hold up to sweat etc., and didn't "wilt". But yes hard to get out--which is not a big deal if you wax every day.
