Mustaches. Are they worth it?

[Quintessence]

Yes.

Seriously, instant sex appeal.

About three months ago, I started growing a mustache. I haven't had one in 38 years. I sort of like it. It has become the equivalent of a fidget spinner on my upper lip. I fidget with it.

But I am finding it annoying too. The way some of the whiskers will turn up and tickle my nose is incredibly annoying and I'm going to scratch it off my head at night.

Should I keep it?

How many of you like mustaches or have them? What problems have you had or is it just me.

NO.

Why only a moustache? Grow a beard and save 10 minutes every day (except full moons).

I've grown one a couple of times to roughly the point you're at now, and quite liked having it. But to keep it longer, you need to start doing proper maintenance. That's where I just shave it off...lol

My moustache looks better than my beard...

Unless you're a cop or do gay porn, just no.

I never grew mustaches, but my son looked nice with them. Some time he has them, sometimes he removes them. He does not have a standard look for himself. His changes irritate me. Sometimes he will have a goatee, sometimes he keeps hair long, sometimes he gets them tonsured.

Your choice.

In the early years of the COVID pandemic Paul decided to give up shaving. Though he keeps his face fungus trimmed with a beard trimmer. Both beard and moustache are more "designer" than full.

Do i like? Bof (french for meh)
Problems? Not a problem, rather enjoyable really.... It tickles.

I need my moustache to keep my beard on my chin.

 

[Mock Turtle]

If tempted to grow one, just remember this - the moustache is a slug I believe.

I grew a full beard some years ago and the moustache is definitely the most annoying part of it for me. Firstly, my moustache is blonde while my beard is brown so I have a choice between dyeing it every so often or looking Amish from a distance. Secondly, my moustache curls down and inwards so if I don't keep it trimmed, it ends up going in my mouth when I eat.

Whether or not you keep it is entirely up to you. If you like the way it looks and can deal with the irritations, then it may be better to keep it. If you don't like how it looks and/or can't deal with the irritations, it may be better to shave. It's your call at the end of the day.

I wouldn't worry too much about other people's opinions on it. Aesthetic tastes vary so some people will think it looks good and some won't. I have a beard and a shaved head which people tend to be very binary about. Whether somebody loves it or hates it though, I'm happy with the look myself.

Also, I agree that moustaches and beards are basically fidget spinners

I've never had a waxed mustache. My mustache has always been annoying, and somehow I always wind up eating soup. Soup is not very compatible with mustaches.

I've had a 'stache for about the last 50 years, and it will go with me to my grave. I can't grow a decent looking beard (too many bald spots), but I love facial hair on men, so wish I could.

The problem with the nose-tickling is familiar to most guys with a caterpillar on their upper lip. Best advice is just after your shower, dry your 'stache with a hair dryer making sure to train ever hair downward.

Yes! There is the idea of that.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I still have mine today. Not sure about tomorrow. But today, I am still entertaining what someone recently referred to as my "pornstache". Funnily enough, I initially heard "porn stash" and was a bit confused.

Funny you should mention the porn issue. The 70's have come up to me in reference to it as well.

Pretty much always had one. Annoying as a newborn, but I got used to it.
Seriously ever since I got out of high school I had at least something, I think maybe I shaved it off once for a month.
Now I have a goatee too... I don't know how people think without whiskers to stroke.

We have snow! It was quite a surprise this morning too. But I am not familiar with Movember. But this is the season for fundraising. We have that.
