Of Mustaches and Men (Month 1.75 - Christmas)

Of Mustaches and Men (Month 1.5)
As I mentioned in my mid-month post I promised I would post if I got anything for Christmas, and any other updates. So here is the Boxing Day report:
I picked up some argan oil hair treatment and begin using it on my 'stache about a week ago. The result is that it is much easier to tame and part now, as it has softened considerably. The points on my epic handlebar are starting to curl up on the ends now, rather than stick straight out, and I have gotten a ton of complements, mostly from the over-75 crowd. :) At all the holiday functions I have attended I have made sure to wax and curl it, and people are really taking notice. It *looks* like a handlebar now, albeit a small one. I'm excited to post a progress pic on the 1st so you guys an see how it has been coming along.
My only holiday gift that was 'stache related (besides a novelty-shaped tin of mints) was a small mustache-shaped leather grooming kit with a small pair of scissors and a sturdier mustache comb than the one that comes with my wax. I can stick it in my pocket when I head out the door and keep my face tamed throughout the day.
Expect an update late on the 1st or the 2nd of Jan (I'm hosting an epic NYE party so I'm not sure if I'll be coherent enough to post in the morning, but I'll make sure to snap a pic of the 'stache at the party) so you can see the results so far.
Cheers!
