Sixteen pages of thread, and no mention of Nietzche's remarkable mustache, which was allowed to run amok but only from a very limited space on the upper lip, bushing out beyond the tip of his nose, making him appear to be a bottom-feeding sea-mammal and, most importantly, inducing in the viewer a sudden disconnected sensation of anxious skepticism. |

So who will be the first to sport the French Fork? DB After Easter I shall abandon shaving for precisely 1 year. Shaving, not trimming. Thus I shall gladly endeavor the french fork, or as I have long called it "moses beard". However, due to certain personal biological lackings, I will be unable to grow the mustache element of the design. Never fear though, as I shall acquire a false one for beard pictures. |

I was forced to shave my goatee off for work (I'm a fishmonger at a local grocery store) but for whatever reason they never seem to notice my chops.
I'll post pictures when they get back to their former glory, as my mutton chops are in a shameful state right now. I was trimming them down and messed up, so I had to shave them off completely and start over. Oddly enough, right after that I got really ill, so evidently within my mutton chops lie vast reserves of my power.

I've always been a fan of facial hair, especially because the only time I shaved my face completely, I hated it... It was the worst vision I've ever had (in fact I became totally mad after that moment... ) I've tried a "full" goatee for many years, recently I've start using this style instead:  Sometimes I use also that "few days" beard (that short beard that grows evenly on your face if you don't shave for a couple of days)... And it's not that bad either (no pics, sorry ) |

What a great thread! Such a gallery of manly and artistic face fur! Re. mustache wax questions: My husband has tried it off and on over the years, but mostly gives up because it's sticky and pulls his hair when he's "styling" it. Maybe he needs a new brand. Mostly he just keeps it in place by 1) combing and twisting it into place throughout the day, and 2) not shampooing it every day (he says it makes it too unruly). Unfortunately, the "not shampooing" thing was getting a bit obnoxious at times, depending on our food choices, and I suggested using conditioner on the beard and lip. That seemed to help quite a bit. The soap/shampoo just dried it out so much. We had a friend who used to swear that ice cream, especially pistachio, made the best "mustache wax". Here is the husband with his current configuration: I think he looks swell. It's a good all-purpose look that goes with a lot of periods (except 18thc and early 19th c, alas...). Oh, and the "guns and alcohol" thing? Don't forget to re-position your gun carriage and check your elevation between firings of that cannon. I speak from experience. It's a good thing there were no buildings or livestock over that hill... Neb |

I was sporting a rather well developed handlebar-moustace until just before newyear, when it woke me up several times, by ending up in my mouth. I shaved it and regretted it shortly thereafter(it was reddish and curled up on its own and everything)... I started regrowing it a fortnight ago, and when it fills in properly, my beard will get the axe. Probably in a week or two... Current status: Any tips on wax??? Just for those bad-beard-days... |

I believe Hercule Poirot slept with his lip whiskers in some kind of netting affair, to keep it tidy. Goodness knows where one would find such a thing, though...

It's a good thing there were no buildings or livestock over that hill... Neb I found that I didn't like ANY of the moustache waxes available commercially in Portland. I developed my own brand that I sell in 1oz tins for $5 (..plus postage..), called Weasel Wax. (..still getting the fund together to get labels printed for the tins..) It's a blend of beeswax and jojoba oil. The trick is to heat the beeswax up and then stir in the jojoba oil, without the jojoba getting too hot. I like a 2/3 to 1/3 mix, which gives good 'tache' control without being too heavy. Too much beeswax makes the pomade feel heavy, and too little wax decreases the holding power. The 1 oz tins are just the right size for a vest pocket - which keeps the wax at the right temp to a quick re-application in the men's room, just before that important meeting. I love the looks I get from the other engineers at Intel when I pop into the Men's room and apply a little wax to the 'tache. |

The item in question is known as a "snood". It's a light-weight linen "moustache bra" that was popular for some time. It kept the 'tache pinned down for the evening, making it more easily managed in the morning. I've gotten in the habit of just doing the hot shower in the morning, applying lots of soap, and then just re-waxing afterwards. I do use some hair conditioner on the chops and 'tache, which helps. I also picked up a hair curler this weekend. One of my friends is coming over to show me how to use it, without burning myself. My Franz Josef chops are long enough to require the use of such a device. Pics to follow......barring any unforseen, horrible accident! |

I, for one, will welcome the weasel wax and would love to try it if our esteemed colleague would be so kind as to PM me with the particulars. DB |

Well, they´re not going to buy any now you´ve given away the recipe. That's not necessarily true. The fact that he gave away the recipe allowed me to scrape by until I got around to actually getting the details and sending him some money, but I couldn't get the proportions right, and it is a pain to make it unless you are making it in quantity (and I don't believe I have seen beeswax in small quantities). Since I'm already trying to get away from mixing similar compounds in quantity because it makes a mess of my kitchen, it makes sense to buy it instead of making it. I haven't tried any other waxes, but Weasel Wax works really well, and I don't intend to waste my time trying anything else unless it is removed from the market. |

I tried the facial hair thing once, but it was not flattering at all considering I look like a girl and I tend to revel in my androgyny but me looking like a bearded lady wasn't particularly hot. Oh and when I just had the upper lip hair thingy I looked like douche so I called it a douchestache until I shaved it off XD
