Started growing mine the day after high school graduation (1975). Couldn't have one in school, a Jesuit H.S. Haven't been without since, but added a goatie some time ago.
My wife wouldn't kiss me anymore with mine. My mustache wasn't that important to me. Now I just keep it trimmed, and don't curl the tips.
Yep... I didn't have the heart to tell you guys... I miss it for sure. The guys at work tease me a lot for shaving. Weird... They teased me at first for growing it then got used to and teased me for shaving it. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I decided to grow one while I'm single again. Its a week in now. I have a grow buddy who's wife told him to grow a handlebar out So she could see it on him. Its at the akward pornstache phase now. I am lucky to have quick thick growing facial hair.
I keep a circle beard most of the time, occasionally I'll keep a very light full beard. The last two Halloweens we've done murder mystery dinners with our Church small group. The first year was Western themed and I was a gambler. I let the tips grow out for about 6 weeks and shaved down to the stache and waxed the tips straight out, kinda Val Kilmer Doc style. Last year was 80's themed and I was the high school baseball coach. I went with the stache again, sans tips, as it just seemed to fit my memories of my coaches growing up. I'll post pictures when I can find them...
