Of Mustaches and Men (Month 2)
We are now on to Month 3 of growing out the 'stache, and just 2 weeks before the event I was hoping it would at least look "decent" for. As it turns out, results are WAY better than I expected. I didn't snap a photo yesterday (the 1st) as I knew I was headed to the Dickens Festival today and would have to style it up pretty anyhow. So this shot is from Feb 2nd:
Pretty amazing, right? The ends do a full curl, the beard part is full and neat, and the center of the 'stache is just bushy enough to look manly but not quite on to walrus yet. In fact, after my event this month I think I'm going to go back on my no-trimming-at-all pledge and start grooming not only the strays with my scissors, but also undercutting to keep the bushiness down.
I have been using the argan oil mostly on the beard these days, as the mustache has finally 'learned' where to part and even without wax the ends do their best to curl up. I'll post a pic of my in my western gear in action at month 3.5 so you can see how I met my goal when I get back from my event, and then go back to my once-a-month posts until the end of the year.
Best Regards,
