I got a buddy with an impressive bushy mustache, he took his kid to cave creek wild west days and the gunfighters kept trying to recruit him to join because he "already has the facial hair"
I've been telling him this for years.
Awesome!!
I love the west so much I’m only 10 but is the best thing in the world you the best
Thank you so much!!!
You to
Im 12 yrs old, i have been inspired by the West since 1st grade, and just this year my mom realised im actually loving it, and that its NOT just “kids love cowboys and pirates”.
And i love wyatt earp and have seen tombstone severel times.
Favorite western is probably Silverado🤠
AGR IS THE BEST !!!EVER!!!
@Fui Gebhardt1
Man, after reading your post I got excited and turned on the TV, only to realize that even though we do have DISH, we do not have STARS. I wonder how much they're gonna hit me up to add it on.?.?
My pop got me hooked using mustache wax when I was 7,incidentally is also the same age I started chewing tobacco
Uh-oh!! That's really cool, actually.
At 7?!
Gotta iron soul, i see🤠
If you’ve ever tried shaving with a genuine Victorian straight razor that’s been professionally sharpened you soon understand why beards 🧔 were so popular😢
HAHAAH! Yes. I have and I do.
That's seriously true. Daily shaving wasn't even common until the safety razors. And being shaved with a straight razor by a competent barber was still unsettling.
That's why the coolest men in western fictions was shaved clear few days before the scene. If you're shaving regular you must got balls of steel
Having a full beard myself and have had it since the Christmas of 1975, I have no real need for a straight razor, other than a trim at my local barber. All, I know, is that my barber said it is a special skill one needs to learn and be patient with. He told me that as it is shown on TV and movies nowadays, half if not more of the men would have cut their throats by accident.
I always just thought it was a by product of simple living. Why shave everyday when you can trim your beard once a week, if that.
Ah, another great episode. Makes me want to go out and grow some mutton chops and use a straight razor. My wife says she'd like to use a straight razor on me too, wonder if that means she's going to do my shaving?
RUN!
My Great Grandfather was a blacksmith in Indian Territory, he sported a very large handlebar moustache, his favorite brand of wax I hear was...I believe, something like Uncle Boogers Moustache Wax.
Uncle Boogers....well, whatever works!
It is interesting how facial hair styles, change and roll back around in & out of fashion.
I shaved once both my daughters ran away from the "strange man in the livingroom" 1 was 4 the other was 2 theyre now 31 and 29 and my beard is about 10 inches long now ... loved the vid make more and faster lol
My kids are 46 and 43 neither of them have seen my husband without a beard. I'm sure our great grandkids would go running too.
Hahaha. Love that
I had a very similar incident many years ago when my boys were young ! 😊
@@nancybarnett2832 When my daughter, now in her 40s, was about 5 my wife showed her a picture of me when i just had long sideburns. She asked her if she knew who was in the picture. "Yes, that's my daddy when he had a chin." Good Times.
@@baldeagle5297 that is so cute. Never know what kids will say.
I love having a moustache, but by god does it make soup an obstacle course.
The Covid masks don't get along with my mustache.
@@ArizonaGhostriders same! I end up eating it!🤣
Especially if you don't trim it religiously
A Straw helps.
Why live a simple life when you can make every meal an adventure?
Remember the mustache allows one to create invisible pistols from thin air
Absolutely! Proven.
I knew someone who dare not grow a beard! It came in ginger.
Redbeard!
Barbarossa
My beard needs a trim! Haven’t shaved since the 1800s!!
🧔
Dang, Rip Van Winkle!!
Arizona Ghostriders ha! I find having a long beard is so much easier than a long mustache. Really like the look of the long stache, but man is it hard to eat a sandwich, soup, drink without straws, or eat ribs. Kudos to all you Long Stachers!
Happy Thanksgiving!
-Nick 😃👍
@@RideAlongside its not that bad and you'll have a snack for later too
Deplorable Whiteman 😆 I know all too well! What the mustache doesn’t hang onto, the beard will catch for later!
If you can play, ZZ Top could use a bassist. Dusty Hill is playing the great gig in the sky.
I sometimes look at a photo of my mother's family from the late 1800s and think how similar their facial hair was to that of the Earp brothers. My mother's family lived in the EAST.
Yes, all the rage across the country.
can't wait til i'm old enough to grow a good mustache
Yeehaw!
It took me a minute with the SMG that he kept coming back with different facial hair styles. Really nice vid Santee, as usual.
Thank you! I put his clips in a little out of order, but it got me too when I first watched it.
I’ve always wanted to try an old-fashioned shave with a straight razor, but I don’t trust myself. LOL!! Great vid!
I’d end up Noseless
Yeah, I know what you mean, I bought a real good one a few years ago and still haven't been able to try it yet! 😊
One of these days when I get to the point of nothing to live for...... I might try! 😊
If you want to work your way up to it, I recommend switching to the old school double bladed safety razor. Way closer shave and way cheaper that the modern plastic junk.
My grandpa used to shave with cup rush and straight razor. I still remember the leather strop he had hanging behind the bathroom door. I started with a double edge safety razor too
@/k/eegan Ive just switched to a double edged razor. Razor blades are dirt cheap and I get a great shave changing the blade after two days. Works out at 4 pence a shave, which is around 5 cents.
I got to keep a goatee but my full mountain man beard of 5 years was lost in June due to starting a new job. Still miss it. Love the Sweeney Todd clip. Very fitting haha
Thank you!
thank you for correcting the image of Billy t Kid
This episode is a cut above the rest
Nice
As a bearded man, I've been waiting for this one. Kinda look like a mountain man, shoulder length hair and a full beard.
Yeehaw!
I need some of that mustache tonic, I can hardly grow facial hair for my life!
Awww, that's ok!
Happy trails to you.
To you as well, pardner
That moment when you're in your 30's and your peach fuzz finally grows 1/4 of an inch!
As a man who can’t grow a beard (and also as a Millennial) I am offended! Btw big fan of the channel, also I met a lovely older woman from Tucson, Arizona on a cruise last week who loves you guys too. Especially Santee (wink wink)
Well, thanks for telling me that. Not all folks can grow beards or 'staches, so don't let that bother ya. We just like to give Batjac a hard time. Both Dan's give me a hard time because my mustache isn't as nice as theirs. The world of facial hair is downright brutal!!! :-)
Thinking I need a few weeks vacation just to catch up on all these videos
Think I need one to make some more!
And . . . grow out a great 'stache
at the same time!
Outstanding!!!!
Thank you!
This is some really good info Santee 😊😊😊
Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving fellers.
You as well. Eat hearty. Give thanks. Drink some booze, if you can!
Great video. Winter is starting to set in here in Saskatchewan so it is time for the beard growing to begin!
Thank you! Get it going!!
Another Great video santee
Thank you!
Great stuff guys
Thank you!
I used to change up my style every so often, until I made my you tube logo, now I feel I have to keep it this way. Great video Santee!
Aw, you could change it up. We all know who ya are!
I read "Tactical Hair in the Old West" ... :D
Not that I'm disappointed. :)
Hmmm, that might be an interesting topic
@@ArizonaGhostriders Oh yeah!
As a barber and bearded gentleman i really enjoyed this video! I have a deep appreciation for shaving/barbering history and the tools they used, Thanks santee!
You're welcome!
Excellent episode! I have sported a mustache a time or two, but let's just say my wife didn't appreciate it, so I go for that Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Robert Conrad clean-cut TV look....unless it's an episode about their mustache wearin' evil twin. Ha!
Like in those mistaken Identity episodes of Rifleman and Bonanza!
Being the youngest in my family, I must of got all the facial hair. One brother has "Joe Dirt" scattered patches. Oldest brother has decent mustache and beard. Other older brother never really tried. When I start my fall beard in September I am Santa by Christmas. My mustache has been described as Sam Elliot, great, glorious and other terms that embarrassed my wife when spoken by college girls. I went way east once to a week long maintenance course. We had a rental car and a few hours to kill and wanted to see the Atlantic Ocean. On the way back we went into a little gas station on the New Jersey/New York border. I walked in where the guy was behind the inch thick window and a customer was buying lottery tickets. The room was quiet and I heard one of them whistle the Good the Bad and the Ugly tune. That said it all.
Sam Elliott 'stache is something to be proud of.
I use a brush and cup and shave soap, but I draw the line at straight razors. Those things scare me. As soon as you said the word 'alum', I thought of that old Bugs Bunny cartoon, and, sure enough!
Me too
Respect the stache!!!
Get that t-shirt going, Noah!
I love it! Very well done and fun to watch. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Well, considering my wife's love of Sam Elliott, I will continue the quest for her approval.
HA!
"Yeah I'm fine. Lol
I'm fortunate enough to have one of those epic moustaches. I just wish it would return to its original color. 😪
LOL! Yeah....
I can grow a Mustache in under a week. But for the life of me, I cannot grow sideburns or a beard.
That's ok. Mustaches are darned cool!
I've had a mustache for almost fifty years now, and chin whiskers for the last twenty, helps cover up the scars!
I used some beeswax one time on my mustache and the dang bees would fly around my face and drove me crazy! The wife said I tasted sweet when she kissed me, but next time I used it that I should probably separate the wax from the honey ! 😊 😉
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
I can relate. I wax my mustache every day and bees and wasps just seem to love me. I once had a dozen wasps crawling on my face all at once. Although, they don't seem to pay more attention to the 'stache than the rest of my face.
You're right about a big beard making you look more aggressive. I have a pretty impressive "Man Mane" and someone snapped a pic of me, at one of our shows, leaning against a post, smoking a cigarette while I was waiting for the show to start. Holy Cow! I looked meaner than a rattlesnake!
Facts say that men with beards are also the most trustworthy!
Beards also gives us Ninja powers. If you don't believe me, ask anyone with a beard. Basically, we're aggressive, trustworthy Ninjas.
Women in surveys also say that bearded men look like better providers and fathers than our non bearded counterparts.
@@Devin_Stromgren in other words, we look like MEN. (Not applicable if you also sport a "man bun")
Well thanks for another great show, however, forgot the last stage. Where was the lilac water, the Ogallala Bay Rum cologne etc?
Not forgotten. That's for another episode. One on barbers.
Can you do a video on riding gloves/winter gloves? I'm doing a movie shoot next year and it would help to know what's historically accurate!
I can try, but gloves haven't really evolved. The cavalry used a gauntlet looking glove and most western laborers used plain leather gloves.
I’m only 16 but I’m really into the old west, thinking about having a handlebar like my grandpa has, and has had since he was 17, he even sounds like Sam Elliot.
Get started on it!
You say I have a buddy of mine with a walrus stache his grandpa on his mom's side looks like Sam Elliott he even has a epic handlebar stache like him also his older brother has a nice lookin beard the 3 literally are the only males in his family who have facial hair. 👨🏻🦳🧔🏻👨🏻
Had side burns and mustache from 14 till my 30s. Got sleep apnea and have to wear a mask. A word of warning if you like your ears. When using a straight razor keep away from kids. We hen you’re shaving an a lid runs into you. Need I say more. I can’t grow a descent beard anyway. I always tell friends with beards they are too lazy to shave. A old boy I used to help with his cattle always said “ I don’t know why someone would want to cultivate under their lip what grows wild on their a**.”
Ouch!
The more facial hair you have the less you have to shave!
Very true!
i love my mutton chop (Burnside) cut 10 years now and i think i will die with them
Go for it.
A Goodd informative & entertaining video. I just shaved off my bushy beard for Thanksgiving. ha ha ha I liked the bloopers at the end ha ha. MERRY CHRISTMAS
take 74😂
It happens
Ambrose Burnside is what I have
Cool
I found this the day after I shaved my full blown beard down to a mustache and gotee, lol. I usually grow a full beard in the winter along with my hair out and come spring time, just before planting our garden, I shave everything down to either just a gotee or clean shaven both on the face and scalp and keep it less than 1/8 in til the cool weather comes back. I happen to eba FireFighter where certain facial hair is either explicitly banned and others highly encouraged. I happen to primarily ride an ambulance so I don't have to keep the whiskers short to fit a mask and get to have the luxury of growing a beard and make some of my coworkers jelous.
Thanks for your service as a first responder!
Wet shaving with Merkur 33c safety razor is currently my go to everyday shave.
Nice!
Not sure I would want someone putting a straight razor to my neck..that would be a hair razing experience 😂😂.
Makes you a cut above!
0:57 got to admire the Wyatt Earp picture
He had a remarkable 'stache
Used to wear a curled mustache actually trained it to keep the curl without wax my wife hated it so now I got a full beard keep telling her I’m gonna grow it back lol
Hahahah!
Interesting *twhirls moustache
*sinisterly
1:35 I dunno but that 'Oh My Gosh' at the end was so funny to me hahaha
Thanks! HA!
Yeah, I'm going for growing some Burnside ultra mutton chops this month.
Go for it!
This channel just makes my day every time.
Thank you!
@@ArizonaGhostriders : Your welcome but I would really like to thank all of you. Videos are not easy. Lot of work.
I wish I could grow better facial hair. :(
Not everyone can, and that's ok.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I guess I'll never have a gorgeous stache like yourself. Oh well, I'll just have to make sure the rest of my costume is era appropriate.
My late husband toyed with the idea of owning a straight razor, but I never allowed one in the house! However, he had his shaving brush, mug, and soap. When one time he shaved off his mustache to play a part in a video, I couldn't get used to how he looked, so he grew it back.
LOL!
Thanks for the video. Heading out to a fancy dress party tonight and want to look the part.
Good
Very interesting, in my county's museum they have artifacts from an old barbershop that closed down in the early 20th century. The barbershop was forcibly closed as the barber was corrupt along with the mayor running a small criminal racket.
Wow!! Interesting info.
One of the many things I love about your videos, Santee, is you always include one of those short clips from an older movie. I search those clips and find some pretty interesting movies afterwards.
Good!
I love my straight razor and horse hair brush. I use the alum and wax bee's wax and a little mineral oil with a touch of Bay Rum. It works great and smells good. Though I used the Straight Razor before UA-cam there are a lot of tutorials on UA-cam on how to properly shave with them and trim around facial hair.
Interesting. Glad you are a shave master as well.
Please could you do a video on the double action revolver please
yes
So I have a question, I looked at your music video to see if I could get an answer.
What is that instrument you put around your lips and strum on it like a guitar and it makes a weird, boing sound? I like it.
It's called a "Jaws Harp" or a "Jews Harp"
Thanks!
That was one of the bettermost episodes that the Ghostriders ever put out . It's allers great to see some of the other fellas like Eddie, Dan,& Dan., Oh, and BATJAC, can't forget that ratscallion
Thank you!
When i see this video, Sam Elliott is the first guy thap pops right in my mind when he plays as Wyatt Earp or John Buford
My favorite western actor is probably……!!SANTEE!!
Wow! Thank you!
Many of the actual "Cowboys" didn"t have much facial hair because they were young.
That may be true. But there are many photos of cowboys who do have facial hair as well.
Have you done a video on wagons in the old west, and how the more well-set folk’s wagons were any better? If so, I’m sure alot of us would like to see it. If you have, sorry about that. Loving your videos, still!
I will do one in the future!
To my understanding, facial hair become fashionable after the start of the Crimean War because the British soldiers deployed there had to forego shaving in order to avoid unnecessary infection due to a lack of clean water. Then they came home and the rest of Victorian society decided to incorporate the trend, and it just spread from there.
But if I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
Thanks for the video, Santee. Great content, as always.
Even if you're not wrong, someone will correct you! Lol
I'm not sure that was the whole reason. Doctor's suggesting it to ward off airborne diseases had something to do with it. Also, facial hair makes one look like they are in charge.
So, what's the story with Rex? Only found this channel some months ago and always wondered what his deal is.
Rex came in in an episdoe when I tried to talk to Bill via seånce. I apparently opened a portal. The Enthusiastic skeleton came with him.
Now kids love him so he stays.
fantastic !! ha ha ha,.. you guys should definitely chase that "Burnside" look for the channel :-)
Rita would eviscerate me with a butter knife.
Very interesting episode on Facial Hair in the Old West !!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a Great Thanksgiving Santee !!!!!!
You too, Jerry!
Another great video, Santee! I wear a goatee and mustache, despite the fact that my wife hates it. When she convinced me to shave the goatee last year, my double chin became far too apparent. So I grew it back, over her objections.
And I loved the clip from "The Pirates of Penzance!" The Modern Major General!
Thank you!
Even though I am a woman, I am fascinated by facial hair of all sorts.
Cool. Well, I've seen some real interesting facial hair in my time.
Anyone who has ever shaved with a straight razor has to get a chuckle out of watching western movies. The barber holds the razor perpendicular to the skin; which, obviously, won't cut anything. But, then, slicing open the star's carotid artery would pretty-much put the kibosh on the whole project.
Let that be a lesson to you folks! Don't learn from the actor-barber in the movies!
Thanks.
I’m only 16 but I’m really into the old west, thinking about having a handlebar like my grandpa has, and has had since he was 17, he even sounds like Sam Elliot.
Better get started, it takes awhile!
WestKraven
No time like the Present ...
Can you speak at all to historical mustache darkening? I've heard stories of charcoal wax used for photos in the west at the least, and henna has been used in India.
I'll look into that!
The barber man was small and flash
As barbers mostly are, he wore a 'strike your fancy sash, and smoked a huge cigar. I won't inflict the whole poem on you but, if you like, look up The Man from Ironbark,by Aussie poet from that era. Banjo Paterson. I think you'll love it.
Thank You!
I have seen those straight razors in use in Moroccan suburbs until the 90s. As for the Gillette double edge razor, I used it many times before 2004. now I use disposable razors and I am planning to buy Philips One Blade, Great video as usual , thumb up. !
Thank You!
I like the look some of them sported where the mustache is combed down and into the beard covering the mouth entirely. Not sure how they ate, but they obviously managed. Perhaps if it was a good meal, they could suck on the whiskers later, and taste it all over again?
HAHAH!
Just because of you Santee and all your excellent videos, this last seven months I decided to grow a big bushy handle bar walrus mustache. I should be hanging out with you guys.
That is awesome! Way to go, Kevin.
Hey friend I don't exactly remember when I connected with you I see we have a few friends in common great content very enjoyable
Yeehaw!!
Hahaha, after menopause i'm slowly growing a mutton chop.....🤣
HAHA!
It ser enuff were a plum good show about bread brooms and lip wisks! Thanks Lots Fellers! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Yer Welcome
The barber in the movie was stropping wrong.
Yeah, so I hear. Guess the prooducers didn't put up the money for a shaving consultant.
Americans don’t have “beards.” Not even in the old west. Lennin had a “beard.” Stalin had a “beard.” Gabby Hayes had “whiskers.”
Hmmmm....your defnition is of a beard is certainly different! But go with it.
When I lived in California, a local casino gave tours. One exhibit that surprised me, was old photos of the tribesmen, with full "Gabby Hayes"-type beards. I always thought that they could NOT grow beards and always had a full head of hair. (That was one genetic trait I envied---since the only place I want hair is on the top of my head where it used to be, and not on my face where it will grow until the last roundup). It appears those desirable genes are not present in all tribes.
True!
I sport the Muttonchop with the shaved chin... makes me look a bit older but in the good way.... the "me" type cowboy way...lol
Cool!
Thanks for the bloopers! Are you sure it wasn't Grandpa FUBAR's mustache Wax?
LOL! Mighta been
That version of Sweeney Todd is horrendous....the version with Ben Kingsley is much better!
The original with Len Cariou is the best
I love The Mustache of John Wilkes Booth Alot! I wish I can have a mustache like that some day:)

Let it grow, let it grow!
During the Crimean War, British troops were unable to shave and so ended up with large beards. These were then seen as "manly" and "heroic" and the epitome of "military". Victorian civilians started to grow massive facial hair. The Civil War generals were emulating their British counterparts with their huge beards. The Amish and Mennonites also grew beards and were appalled when people thought they were being militaristic so they shaved off the moustache.
Yep
