Current Mustache Measurements - Baseline Data

Facts, figures, and numbers are not usually something that you associate with mustaches.  But, since this blog documents my mustache experience, measurements let me document exactly where I am in this journey.  I am aware of no other such documentation of mustache growth generally available.  If it interests you – read on -  otherwise skip to my next entry.

The Plan - Growing the Mustache, Removing the Goatee and No Trimming

In my research, I saw that there were two competing ideas on how to grow a handlebar mustache.  One involves trimming the area immediately above the mouth, and letting the sides grow out.  The other is to NEVER trim the center of the mustache but comb all hairs to the outside.  I have decided to go with the latter approach.
