    I'm thinking about growing a Handle Bar Mustache just for fun. Do any of you fine gents out there have one or have you ever had one? Any advice on growing one ? Those of you that have one could you post a picture of yourself so that I might see the different styles of them? I'm thinking of going Rollie Fingers style.

    Right now I have a goatee so I am wondering what other chin hair style would go with the goatee. Thanks

    Don't trim it. Some folks trim right above the lip line and let the ends grow. I let it all grow and comb it out from the center.
    I also don't like it twisted to the point that it's the same diameter as a toothpick. I like the full, natural look.
    As for wax, I make my own with bees wax and Vaseline. Firehouse Wacky Tacky can be ordered on line and is a great wax.
    I really don't like Pinaud. It's easy enough to find at WalMart and drug stores, but doesn't hold worth a darn, in my opinion.

    Not a problem.
    I love showing off the 'stache! I'm pretty proud of it. It's certainly received it's share of compliments.

    Love it! It actually inspired me a little, however we can't have handlebars that size in the Army...so I'm going with something along the lines of shaped like The Rt. Hon. Field Marshal Haig. Now I just have to learn to take care of a moustache, though it's growing in nicely!

    I've reached the same point with my tache! I have yet to decide wether to go for a bar, or a drooper!

    No, really! I'd love a 'bar, but my upper lip shape naturally lends itself to a downward slope, so I feel I might have to follow the growth!

    A very good friend, 'Atters' Attree is on the committee of the Handlebar club http://www.handlebarclub.co.uk/committeegallery.php, so I have been under his influence!

    Regards,

    Martin
