      Thanks @EdH my goal is a Daniel Plainview style moustache (Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will be Blood) but I’m not sure I’ve got the coverage. Time will tell. 👍

        @jerkules I’m hoping this is the only thing you’ll be modeling after Daniel Plainview.

        Still one of my favorite cinematic characters of all time…”I DRINK IT UP!”

          Ha yeah, definitely. What can I say, evil dudes and facial hair go hand in hand. An incredible character, played so well.

            @jerkules It will continue to thicken out as the smaller, slow growing hairs fill in the bulk. But experience has taught me not to set my hopes for any particular 'look'. We all get what we're given, and once you've got enough to work with you can start trimming around the edges and define its shape to your liking. Age also helps - my attempts at a mo in my 20's were butt fluff stuff.

                @Tago-Mago well, this is going to start a whole other conversation but here you go:

                I couldn't find anything showing the 20's Mo off clearly - blame it on the fact we were young and poor and could only afford potato cameras back in the mid-00s. I don't even think the iPhone 1 was out when this was taken.

                      @jerkules They were fun. Sadly I combed them out (which took ages) before my 3rd year of uni on the misguided assumption that I might apply for a job or two and need to be presentable at an interview.

                            These pics are cracking me up…makes me think we must have a “Styles of our Younger Selves” thread.

                                    @EdH this really speaks for itself but I can’t help but admire the juxtaposition between the hair and attire. Serious but ready to party. You CAN have it all!!

                                      I feel like in my personal experience at least, once you go stache, you'll never wanna go beard again. I look at old pics of myself with a fully hirsute face (or at least the best scraggle that my Irishness can produce) and think "fucking hell, who invited the guy from the Spin Doctors?" Ok maybe that's being overly self-critical, but it's bad. I feel much happier in my John Prine configuration, might even stick with it eternally.

                                        First things first, I should listen to some John Prine later. Thank you.

                                        Second, I realized recently I like both the hairy face and the naked face and will, moving forward, alternate more regularly. I think when I have a beard I miss smelly aftershave so when I run out of an aftershave I like I’ll grow the beard for a bit until I miss the smelly stuff again. I came across some beard pics of me at work recently and it looked awesome.

                                          Yep I go back and forth between the “Prine” and a full beard but I haven’t been totally clean shaven since probably’04. Maybe it’s time for a full shave? My beard has really grayed up here in the past few years…thanks kids.

                                            Being a barber I hear complains over gray or graying hair all day. I can’t stand it. I think gray hair is awesome and it’s certainly better than losing your hair. 👴
