Curled tips |
Today I did it again and here's how it looks:

I have a hard time deciding if I look the look of a tighter curls or larger more open ones. Decisions - decisions.
It's all about the mustache. Follow me as a transition from a very short goatee and mustache combination to a full and glorious handlebar mustache. Along the way we will cover all things mustache including styling, grooming, products, as well as the reactions of friends, family, coworkers and complete strangers to my new look. Ultimately it will become a diary about living with an epic handlebar mustache.

Helpful blog! I've been working on mine since the end of summer, but I chickened out and just let the ends grow, curling with Clubman and having mostly good mustache days. Lately I've been letting the middle grow, and hopefully with your suggestions about keeping hairs out of my mouth I can have some success with this thing. Some similarities I share with you are the small area above the lip, good comments from young people (I teach high school), and a wife who at first gave me funny looks and now maybe is accepting all of this. Thanks for the details.
ReplyDeleteHi Matt,
DeleteThanks for taking the time to write and spending time here. I am glad that you find this helpful, though I am kind of humbled by it because I am no fashion, styling, or grooming expert. I am just a guy who thought it would be fun to grow out his mustache and blog about the experience.
I am glad that you have decided to not trim the center. That leads to a much nicer looking and sustainable mustache in my opinion.
I will leave it to others to explain why a handlebar mustache has such a profound effect on the man who wears it and how others interact with him. All I can say is that I am having the time of my life and hope that you are too.
I use an extremely stiff hair gel on mine also, its called skull and crossbones.
ReplyDeleteI've also found it very helpful to use a hair dryer to set the curl to how it pleases my eye. I wore my original handlebar mustache for years and have only recently started growing it out again. As far as the curls go, I'm old school-the bigger, the better...
