1.75) Of Mustaches and Men (Month 2) Of Mustaches and Men (Month 3) In the middle of last month I attended the old west event that I had hoped to grow the handlebar out for. And until the vent I had vowed not to even trim the 'stache so it was nice and bushy. The event itself (Kernville's "Whiskey Flat Days") was a roaring success, and my mustache was a big hit:
In fact, I get complements on my handlebar pretty much every day now. Random strangers on the street, fast food and retail clerks, and almost every model that walks through my studio door has something positive to say about my epically manly 'stache. However, shortly after Whiskey Flat Days I was really getting tired of how bushy the damn thing was, and how the center bits really liked to drop down over my lip. So I spent a few minutes with my mustache scissors that I got for Christmas and trimmed up the middle and generally thinned it out, while leaving the length and style the same.
So here is the pic for month 4, taken yesterday (Feb 28) when I got my new glasses to go with my new facial hair style.
Not bad for having been completely clean-shaven on Halloween. 120 days to a manlier you. :)
