I've been growing out my beard this fall (2000), just for the heck of it. Many of you may remember what I do when I finally decide to get rid of it.
(Here,
and here)
This year, just to be different, I've been letting the mustache grow untrimmed as well. It's now to the point where I can actually see the beginnings of a handlebar mustache. So I took myself down to the local drugstore where I had been told that one could get a tube of mustache wax. $3 for a tiny little tube!
The care and feeding of a handlebar mustache is turning out to be a problem. It uses wax like it's going out of style. Plus, one is always "adjusting" it. Now I know why the Villain in the old movies was twirling his mustache - no choice, if one wants it to stay curled up properly. It's either that of put so much wax on it that it would crack if you smiled! It's not likely to survive very long! Not on my face anyway!
I ask everyone who comments on the new facial addition the same question: "Do you know where I can find mustache wax in bulk?" My son took up the challenge, and found this.
