Wow
Looks like you got a spammer spoofing you. I just got a message in broken English leaving a phone number. You might want to keep an eye on this.
Mustaches went out for 2 reasons: 1. Millennials and Gen Z didn't grow up with the likes of Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds 2. Everyone who wears one now, just looks like a pedo. Frankly, they're just creepy looking.
Growing up, all of my mom's husbands had mustaches, so perhaps that's why I don't like them.
as of 2022, maybe pandemic related, men let their facial hair grow - mustaches AND beards from closely trimmed through full-on "see how long it can grow" made a complete comeback! ANTONIO: GET WITH THE PROGRAM! YOU ARE A MASCULINE DUDE - BE PROUD OF IT AND GROW SOME FACIAL HAIR!!!! I PICTURE YOU WITH A CLOSELY TRIMMED BEARD AND TAILORED MUSTACHE - G O F O R I T !!!!!
Don't buy into that "toxic masculinity" BS! Wear what God gave you PROUDLY!
I’ve had a full beard for 12 years and counting, but I keep it looking very proper. It’s just part of my look now. I asked my now wife if she wanted me to shave one time for our wedding, and she said hell no, your beard is you and I love it.
Yep, too many still love em. I'm only 29 now stopping the fight against my facial hair.🔥
Women love them if they are neat and well groomed.
i always shaved and just had a 3-days Beard. Never had a full Beard. So when i was on a Business Trip to China approx. a Year ago for about 2 Months i just grew a Beard. Well, since then i have a Full Beard. Makes me looking older (i´m 52 now) BUT People show more Respect towards me. AND Women seem to always want to touch it. Takes some Work to keep it nice looking but i found a very skilled Barber (a young Girl) and she trims it pretty nice. 🙂
I am 27. For the last 10 years I have shaved around 5 times. And I don't think I will shave anymore. Cut and broom,- yes, but I am comfortable with my beard. And beardless feels worse than naked.
@@oleksandrbyelyenko435 *notices a picture with no beard* 🤔
Hmmm...
I started growing my moustache during 2020. People thought it was ridiculous and it made me stick with it. Dudes, if you want to wear a stache, don't let anyone bully you into cutting it until you want to.

It was probably females judging you.
I can't do a mustache only - to me that screams cop. And the last thing I want to be seen as is a cop. 😆
(Female here.) It startled me when my brother grew a mustache for the first time, especially since he had such a difficult time growing facial hair and I usually only associated mustaches with cops. He looks amazing with it-it’s fluffy and well-groomed-and several of his friends have mustaches now. From a purely visual sense, it’s nice how styles can change. I enjoyed playing with facial hair styles for Arthur Morgan in RDR2, and the familiarity of seeing a certain style makes things more attractive. Keep being amazing, men! You’re amazing and we support you whatever cool style you come up with next.
Arthur is actually inspiring me to try growing a mustache.
@@1cubsfan100 You could very well have stopped after “Arthur is actually inspiring me” and I would have agreed but you get a double thumbs up from me. I bet you’ll look amazing!
wish my gf was as supportive, when she noticed me growing a mustache, immediately told me to shave it off, because I'm not manly enough, I'm not cool or posh I'm just an office worker, and it makes me look like an rpist 😂
I never wanted a beard, but shaving was so painful and unpleasant that I stopped before I had to shave every day, and that was at a time when beards were definitely out of fashion. At the same time, my boss was a retired Lt Col, who hated beards, but I took delight in ignoring him because i was running the most profitable area in the company, so he couldn't get rid of me. I'm now 75, and none of my current friends and acquaintances has ever seen me without a beard. Even today, the majority of my contemporaries are clean shaven, and the beard has become part of my increasingly eccentric persona. I can also state from long experience that there is no shortage of women who like men with beards.
nice beard bro
I run a number 3 clippers over it once a week. Any longer irritates me and any shorter does aswel.
Done that 25 years now can't imagine I will ever change.

My husband wore one because he had a thin upper lip. He shaved it once and the whole family insisted he grow it back. Had it when I met him and had it til he died.
That’ll probably be me too, I’ve had my mo since primary school, I look weird without it so I’ve only shaved it fully off like 3-4 times in my life, I’ll just stick to trimming it every couple of days 🤣🤣🤣

My dad had a beard since he was able to grow it, and when he turned 30, he went for just the moustache. When he was in his 60s, he accidentally trimmed half of it and thought, well, time for a change. The cry of my mum when she saw him stache-less could be heard across the Atlantic. It was a serious marriage crisis, she felt he was a stranger without it.
(edit to say: the marriage crisis came not because of the accident, which could have been solved in a few days, but because my dad decided to stop having the moustache and my mum would not get used to it, he had to cave and go back to the moustache. Also kind of related, my dad passed of prostate cancer, thank you guys who keep doing movember and rising funds for cancer research)
my father has had a mustache ever since he could grow one. only once have i ever seen him without it, he messed up while shaving and so the whole thing came off. i didnt recongize him and cried, i was 3 or 4. he couldnt wait for it to grow back. he has never been without it for my entire life.
My father had made sure to keep his sides clean, but had a decent goatee. One day he left the razor out after shaving when I was 2. He came back a few minutes later and saw me copying what he was doing, or at least trying to. Now I'm sporting one similar to his.
I've shaved mine a bunch of times and it always grows back pretty soon after
@@johnweber80 are you saying that you cut your face with the blade and due to scarring, your facial hair grows in the pattern you mimicked from your dad? 😦
TIL facial hair cliffhangers are suspenseful as hell.
@@gerberberber4685 No scars from shaving (just a toy train I fell on). Just felt that it's a bit easier to keep it clean like this. I guess I just subconsciously wanted to be more like him.
I decided to grow the curly handlebar moustache two years ago, and I have heard so many compliments from people who love it. It's done so much for my self confidence!
Me same! and fun fact that 95% of compliments came from guys;-{)
Yep same here ! And I would say it is not only 95% men but also mainly older men (50 +)
I’m 17, started growing a stache this summer, at first as challenge, to see how much it would grow. I decided to keep it, it has boosted my confidence , I look older, and I get a lot of compliments from it. So yeah guys, don’t grow starches for the girls, do it for you.

I had a beard for many years until recently when I decided to try a moustache; my girlfriend saw a picture of my old man with his tache back in the day, and I'm the spitting image of him, so I tried it out. I gotta say I was surprised by how good it looked, and I'm not being arrogant- people kept telling me! Another fascinating video Antonio 🙂

Me, from Argentina. Mustaches were a must in the 1980s. Since 2014 I adopted the full clean shaved look. Four months ago I started using the chevron mustache on a whimp and I love it. People around me started to treat me different in a possitive way. Old men on the pavement would stare at me as if I remind them of an old friend from their younger years.
I feel from another epoch and I like it.

@@countryhumansreuploads523 I told a funny story to my fellow countryman. Nothing out of the ordinary
Hey man. I've been following you for while now. Ever since I was living in US. Mainly the fragrances videos. But let me tell something. You are great at everything you do in this channel. Fan from Brazil.
My hubby has always had a moustache since I first met him. He said he was as going to shave it off a couple of years ago, and I protested big time! He kept it.
As a woman, oddly found myself here, I love facial hair. As a teen I thought mustaches were gross but now that I’m an adult and I’m seeing more guys with mustaches… I think they look great. Love them.
Well same, as a young boy, I thought mustaches were weird even tho my country is basically known for them, but now that I'm an adult, I'm start to like them and began embracing it.
clean shave is clean shave though as it makes you feel better. It's like shaved vagina vs not feeling I suppose
My daughter hates it. So it's all up to her. LOL.
Yes Ma’am. 🤌👌

When I grew out a handlebar mustache years ago, my mother asked, "What kind of woman is going to date you with that?". I responded, "One that is truly attracted to me for who I am, and not some shallow trendy idiot." Now, the mustache has become a huge signifier of my identity. Friends gasp if I hint at shaving it off and my wife said she'll leave me if I do.
I have also found that people who don't like you because of your mustache are often weak of character... or karens.
Exactly
Same thing with my tattoos , it´s a great deterrent for karens and such
I know a wife, leaving if one grows a moustache. But true love should rather be "I stay, however you may look".
Only a karen would complain about it
Did you find that special someone?
Your content is always great thank you.
One thing you didn't mention in the bit at the beginning about the longer history of the moustache is its importance in historical Celtic cultures. We know from depictions of Gauls, Picts, Irish and Britonic peoples from the early historical period that it was regarded as an important signifier of male status in these cultures. This contrasts with the Romans, who never wore moustaches (but sometimes beards). The Romans even represented this dichotomy in the famous sculpture of the (moustachioed) "Dying Gaul". It's interesting to then relate this dichotomy to later associations of the moustache with the military (either positively or negatively depending on the culture). See for example the ubiquity of the moustache amongs Napoleonic era cavalry hussars, long before it was popular in the military in general.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.

My general rule is "wear whatever style makes you feel good and works for you" and that's honestly all you need. I'm personally clean shaven because i look better that way and it doesn't come with any additional grooming needs, but it's also perfectly fine to have facial hair as long as again, you groom it properly to avoid being perceived negatively.
I agree. For some people it looks nice but for other it’s not the best. Personally, I am better with facial hair. And without it, I look like I am in high school when in reality I am 23. But you need to take care of it. If not, you tend to look like a homeless guy.
Ps: greetings, dovahkiin!
Exactly! Same with hairstyle, clothes, everything. 👍(OK, maybe don't insist on a surfer dude attire when you're on the job as a firefighter. 😉🤣)
Hello fellow Skyrim player!
I look better with a moustache. Not all people born to look good clean shaven. Tom Selleck is a prime example.
@@corentin8634 36 YO here: I agree. I generally rock a goatee mustache combo: clean shaven I just look weird and *young*
I'm 36 and have been growing facial hair for over 20 years now. I don't think I've ever fully shaved my face, not even once. I've had it real short at times, and shaved the sides at times, but never fully shaved the chin and mustache area. And for about 15 years I haven't shaved any of it besides the neck, just trimmed. At one point I grew out my beard for 5 years and it reached about 2 feet long. I've always loved having facial hair and would feel like a part of me is missing without it. Couldn't care less what other people think or what the going norm is. You should always be yourself.
do you ever braid it to put it into a protective style ?
@@ah5721 Back when it was really long I tried braiding it once or twice, but what I'd usually do each morning was tie the beard into a beard bun and stuff it inside the beard itself, which made the beard look neat and medium length. This made it a lot more manageable. For the past 8-9 years I've been keeping a fairly short beard, though lately I've started growing it longer again.
@Jonathan Wolfe During King David's time (I'm sure you haven't read the whole book; you ought to.) it was consider a SHAMEFUL thing to not have a beard (Read the story in 2 Samuel 10.).
Paul is talking about the hair on top of the head. You are literally spiritually dead and lack wisdom. Historically, Jewish men--like Jesus was---HAD a beard. He was under Mosaic law, like all Jews and would have conducted himself as such.
God commanded the priests in Leviticus 21:5 not to cut the edges of their beards, and in Leviticus 19:27 men in general are told not to clip the edges of their beards.
God made men to grow facial hair. There is no command to cut it off, only commands NOT to cut it. We still see Jews today often wearing long beards. Jesus came to fulfill the law (Matt. 5:17) and so he would have strictly followed ALL of God's laws including having facial hair and not cutting the edges.
God put hair on a man's face as his birthright. Homosexuals and effeminate men, godless men who want a smooth face like a woman shave it off. Men of God don't hide the facial hair that God gave them.
Read the Bible and stop pretending to know about it. Taking things out of context, like you did in your comment, makes you an antichrist and a disgrace. You spit in Christ's face when you talk about things you don't know about.
Started braiding about 3 months ago and just broke 2 feet, been at it for about 15 years and was capped at 1.9 for the longest time, it's a bit of a bother but it works. Also goes well with the nearly 1.2 feet Fu Manchu Stache tendrils. Never shaved, only ever trim to keep it neat, ladies are not nearly so put off by it as some would make it out to seem and those that like it love it. Never compromise your self-expression just to please others, keep at keeping at it!
Men who shaved their facial hair more often age faster.
"A whole other level" I applaude you for being able to speak properly. This video should be shared as education. Massive thumbs up for a job well done.
Wouah , lots of research here! Interesting and entertaining! Thanks !
In India, mustaches are a whole different game. It is still frowned upon for men to shave their mustaches, traditionally men only shave their mustaches after the death of a parent and therefore, Indian men style it in different ways, some grow it all lifelong. It is only recently like 10years or so, that mustaches are seen as an oldie thing. Mustaches are seen as a natural thing happening to a man, he embraces his masculinity through it.
As well he should!
I am sad to see that western society has kowtowed to desires of women. If they don't like that I have a beard, it sounds like their problem. I'm not here to make them feel "safe" and "heard" and that "their needs are being met", I am here to do a job.
well, at least in popular western media, you see two types of Indian guy. weak techy clean shaven Indian, and Chad Indian with a long mustache (and maybe a sword)

There's this beard trend going on in the south, especially in Kerala. The youth have embraced it. So have I.😉
Love that insight. Thank you for sharing.
One year into wearing a mustache for the first time and while controversial, one of my best aesthetic decisions I've made for myself. I'm keeping it.

Love the Pfp. Bastion forts are very cool.
Mustche is not controversial lol
Great and thorough analysis.
I had a mustache from the age of 13-15, a full mustache with a goatee depending on how I was feeling, I grew the beard by the time I was 15, growing facial hair has never been a problem for me but now I’m 29 and I went back to the mustache, i just feel better with it
I shaved my beard once and kept the mustache(a Big Sam elliot type), I found most women responded positively. It was men that had the negative reactions, from light hearted jokes to a few outright wanting to fight me for simply having it. I noticed a recurring trend among them, the men that reacted negatively universally were the ones that could not grow facial hair of thier own. What killed the mustache was that it became associated with porn and gay culture of the 70s and 80s.
Research further to be enlightened.
I get what you are saying - The joke was you were either a cop or porn actor if you rocked a Magnum P.I. type mustache. Only actors like Tom Selleck and those that did a lot of westerns could get away with it without being joked about.
Most men can who can grow beard can't grow the moustache part, they only have a baby moustache
@@davids.816 he's right though
A couple years back I decided to grow out a mustache. My wife wasn't a fan (at the time) and I was only doing it to prove that I could. Once I got it established, I realized how much it changed my appearance and the way people interacted with me. I went with a cross between the "Doc Holiday" and a "Handlebar" because my job prevents me from getting to0 flamboyant. After about 6 months, I decided enough was enough and shaved it. I immediately got cries of dismay from my friends and co-workers. It seemed they took as much pride in my 'stache as I did. So now it is back for the long haul. It is a good conversation starter. I find that it makes me more approachable to strangers. Mainly because I get frequent compliments on it from random strangers. My wife asks, "Does that happen often?" whenever she witnesses such an encounter. It is definitely worth the effort and upkeep.
I had to laugh at this, bc it's probably 1 to 1 my experience too: After years of clean shaving (mostly due to lack of density and patchyness) I started to wear a short chevron, more like a proof-of-concept and a half-sane joke on an evening at the local pub - and much to my then fiancés dismay. So, as a surprise to our anniversary, it went all off - I still don't know who of us was more stunned about actually how well the 'stache fit my facial shape, and how weird I looked without it.
Anyway, some weeks later it's been fully restored and very well groomed every since. And yes, I can totally confirm the fact that random ppl bring it up, compliment it and it's definitely small talk material...
I'm you're huckleberry
Definitely a good conversation starter. Even got out of a ticket once because the cop liked my stache so much.
My wife is the same when she witnesses me getting a compliment.
I have a conservative handlebar, just a slight curl upward, and stubble beard, which is great because it only takes me 5 minutes to prep with my own home made mustache wax.
I wear mine just to annoy my wife. I gained some weight too, so now I look like a middle aged cop - and I'm loving it! I also tried to do it as a joke, but It's been over 3 years since I started my experiment.
Grew mine in 1977 to pay homage to the late great visual artist and comedian Ernie Kovacs. I certainly intend to keep wearing it. Thanks
man, first video I see from you and you're good
Another thing about the mustache is a lot of men want to look younger for any number of reason, and facial hair tends to make you look 10-20 years older than you actually are.
truth ! the only white my hubby has is in his beard. it makes him look older !
This is the exact reason why I like to wear facial hair! without it, I look like a 15-year-old kid, and to be honest, it overcorrects and puts me in my 30'ies, but it is closer to how I feel.
I actually grew a full beard and bleached it along with my hair. Instant success!
Absolutely, beards are very aging in most cases, but not all.
Man only wants to look younger when they reach the 40’s….
Im proudly wearing a handlebar moustache and can tell you that it is a very polarizing style. Some people love it and give you respect for it, even strangers sometimes approach you for wearing it. Others will hate it and think its ridiculous. Its very uncommon and for some too bold, but also stylish and classy at the same time. Moreover in your styling routine you have to use beard styling products as well as shaving products which is quite nice. My personal advice: Try it out for yourself, but give it at least 3 months before you do any trimming above the lip. Even though Movember/No shave November is a great thing, one month is defenetly not enough for an impressive moustache and not enough time for you to decide if you will like it or not.
A handlebar mustache is more likely to get negative reactions if it doesn't suit the rest of your style, but there still is a certain joy that comes with seeing someone wearing clashing styles (for instance someone wearing a mohawk with a business suit).
Same here with handlebar/imperial x van dyke moustache. And can tell the same stories. People coming up and telling how nice the moustache is or how bold I am. But its always men. Only older women around 70 or 80 telling me, that they like it.
And to that I wear long hair.
Everytime I meet another man with such a beard is nice and we're talking a bit.
I also wear a handlebar mustache. I get ALOT of positive attention for my mustache. Men tell me how awesome it is, women have so many questions about it. I'm not sure anyone, except close friends, has had anything remotely negative to say about it. Hell, even my bosses have complimented it.
It does take time to train it properly. A small tin of fisticuffs and a fine tooth comb will easily get you through the first few months. Then I'd move on to something like bare bones or sudden death after 3-6 months depending on what your hair growth is like. At some point you could move on to death grip mustache wax but that's a discussion for another time.
Also in the handlebar moustache club, and I think the most important thing is to be sure that it fits well with your face shape. I tried it (it was pretty cool after 6 months) and it fits me very well, so no problem. Every comment I had about it was positive, but most often people seem to not really pay attention.
@@roamingthereal4060 I absolutely compliment people on something awesome they're wearing if they don't seem busy nor wanting others to not bother them, including hair style/facial hair.
I'm clean shaven, scalp too. I've worked in dirty environments almost all of my life, so it's easier to clean up when you don't have a mop of hair to scrub every time you walk into the house. I wore a full beard and 'stache when I was a kid, but it was just too much work to keep clean.
My old man always had a stache at all times until he passed older bro either a stache or beard . I started wearing a stache at 30 it feels alot better for me because i compliment my old man with it.
What great timing for this video. I just shaved my beard that I’ve kept for the better part of 5 years and went with a mustache! I’m loving it!!!
Perfect!
You should be sacred that your phone knows when you shave when you don't when you have a mustache and when you don't, it recommended you the video accordingly

I've had a handlebar mustache for several years. When pulled straight it extends beyond my face. People will stop me on the street to give compliments, yell "great mustache" from passing cars, and ask to have their picture taken with me. I think it's time for a mustache resurgence.
I'm in my 60's and have just, 5 months ago, grown my first moustache, like you I have been astounded by the number of strangers who comment on it and yes someone complimented me from a car when I was crossing the road the other day! It's currently a handlebar style but I'm loving the new joy it's brought to my life.

Fun fact: Old full-bearded chemistry professors were thought to be better at crystallization techniques. It was until much later when chemists realized they've just unknowingly seeded the liquid with thousands of particles from their facial hair, thus initiating the crystallization sooner (due to more nucleation points coming from said impurities).
We now know that any hair is a vector of contamination as it collects airborne particles by e.g. electrostatic interaction. It is not much of an issue today thanks to advancements in technology - introduction of things like HEPA filters, positive pressure flow hoods or even cleanroom suits (a.k.a.

I have had a full beard for the last 14 years, with some few days with clean shave. Last time I "debeared" myself:
My oldest son was very supportive. He burst into laughter!
My wife gave me the cold shoulder with strict orders to grow a beard again.
My youngest son, was very diplomatic and said "It's OK, but I liked you better with a beard".
My daughter.... Well, the fact that she didn't say anything, was all she had to "say"
I really don't care what other think about what I look like. I have my wife and kids, I have a nice job and if people think that I look like a villain... Shame on them for judging me by the looks and not the person, and good riddance. I don't need to waste my time on people who judge by looks.
In Mexico and around the border area in Texas mustaches are very popular. Most Mexicans assume a man is gay if he does not have a mustache.
A huevo
What about a full beard? Last time I went to Mexico on business, we had to service equipment in some towns that are not the typical tourist places, and people seemed like they didn't quite know what to make of my beard.

Nada que ver ese comentario, no le hagan caso a este gringo...
Yo les voy a decir cómo son las cosas en México, en México tenemos mucha diversidad de razas, franceses, españoles,alemanes, mexicas, zapotecas,mayas, cocas, huicholes, básicamente nuestros ancestros eran lampiños, no les crecia barba ni bigote, alguno que otro si pero en general era rala, entonces en la actualidad después de toda una mezcla de razas nosotros que somos mestizos en la actualidad habemos algunos que nos crece barba y otros que no, por ejemplo en zonas como Oaxaca,Chiapas es menos comun porque tienen más sangre de los ancestros y usan un estilo de bigote y barba muy escaso, luego si te vas a mi tierra como jalisco aquí llegaron muchos franceses y españoles que se asentaron aquí, aquí la desendencia se hizo más tipo europea y mucha gente hoy día se deja crecer la barba, pero de todos modos más a un que todo eso es la genética porque algunos güeros también son lampiños y si se dejan crecer las barbas se les ve horrible 3 pelos en la cara por eso mejor se afeitan, todo es genética
Many gringos assume the opposite.
shaved my mustache in 2020 never really grew as full as it was but i love it. my orange goatee always grows back strong tho
Im 28 and ive been using the mustache for almost 4 years now. Ive only really mastered my mustache the past 2 years, but it is very powerful, i genuinely think my mustache comes in handy as a respect and power symbol
Why powerful 😂
Appearing more manly makes other men respect you because you are wearing it with confidence
I've been sporting a shorter handlebar for about two years (I'm 22). Definetly get comments on it from time to time, but the most dramatic thing I've seen is that people notice you more and remember you more (especially when paired with better than average style). It definetly makes an impression and leads to some social interactions you might not otherwise have.
Ever try going longer? It’s a little more work but definitely makes a statement.
Wow my age same with you but still doesn't have that feature (facial hair)
I've been wanting to do this for years! How does someone successfully grow out & maintain a short handlebar? UA-cam hasn't been very helpful for me.
@@averydoesstuff keep twisting the tips with your fingers, grow out then cut the length at the upper parts above the mouth.
I grew a mustache as a joke for a juijitsu tournament and it’s gotten such a positive response from people that I’ve decided to keep it. It’s weird it’s like for the first time in my 36 years of life I feel acceptance from society 😅
That's hilarious 🤣
I grew a moustash in November for a few years now I just like having a moustash and now have moustash wax and a moustash comb
Great video! I have a lot of hair on my head and i think my body just says nah nothing for your face, its gotten better but still not much, but im now on my 4th Month with a mustache , ive tried on and off for years but yesterday i thought nah i want to try start trimming it to a Pencil mustache (my faaavorite style) im big into 1940s clothing style so , and it worked! Its not a big reeeally niticable mustache but it has never looked this cleanly trimmed :-D im deffintly going to keep it and maintaining it now❤️❤️❤️
I had the opposite hair situation. Plenty of hair on my face and chest, but been thinning pretty dramatically since I was 18. Wife doesn't care for the beard, but that's partly cuz I don't often have it well kept and just let it grow wild.
amazing video!
Hey Captain, I grew a mustache in flight school and shaved it off at my first unit when I was told by the S1 that the Battalion Commander hated them. That was in 1982, I didn't grow one again until a few months ago when I nicked my upper lip shaving and it was too sensitive to shave. Now I have folks at work saying they like it.
A good friend and I (both under 30) started growing a mustache 11 months ago for fun, whoever gives up first lost. Meanwhile, it's no longer a bet. We both love the mustache. He wears a Van-Dyke and I rather a big mustache. To my surprise, I get a lot of compliments, probably because I make sure that everything fits together, rather classic with hat, long classic coat and suit shoes etc.. It's also a good conversation starter, people talk to you about it. My friend gets a lot of commpliments from women, a lot of them love it, in about 1 hour a non drunk women said 3 times to him, that she likes it a lot, haha. Greetings from Austria.

OH NO, A MAN FROM AUSTRIA GROWING A MOUSTACHE
I usually have a medium thin mustasche because it fits well when i use gel and comb my hair similar to what men had in the 1930s.
My goatee is just there because i got a small chin.
My dad has had his mustache he takes well care of ever since he was able to grow a proper one. Which was when he was about 16. Today he's 52. Yes, he has had his mustache for over 3.5 decades. I'm 22 and have never seen him or photos of him without one and at this point I hope to never see him without his mustache. Not even my mom has seen him without it ever since they met in university when dad was 18.
Everyone should just feel free to be themselves and express their facial hair, or lack of it, as they see fit.
They are. There’s no facial hair laws that I know of.

I shamelessly rock the mustache about half the time. Mine is far from perfect, but I've been complimented on it before. It's just a fun look for me cause it makes me feel a little more confident due to it being a look that not many men wear anymore
I've recently started sporting a 'stache and I have to say I've gotten quite a few compliments from men and women alike (mostly men) and it's odd to me that so many do not rock them anymore. There is this one man with quite the elegant handlebar moustache and I yearn to grow one as astounding as his. My mother absolutely hates it but that makes me want to grow it out even more if possible.
Surprised you didn’t mention Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck and the facial hair resurgence in the late 60s and 70s.
Also the current facial hair resurgence for about the last 10 years.
(Did notice the picture you had of Selleck.)
Right around the end of my senior year I started getting a full mustache growing. I gave in to peer pressure then and shaved pretty often till I turned 20. My band was getting big and we were planning tours and we needed a way for me to look older for some venues, so I started growing out my mustache and had a van dyke for 3 years. I joined the Navy in 2015, and any time I couldn't get a shave chit (waiver) I kept a mustache, despite literally everyone hating on it. I got out in 2018 and had a long beard up until mid 2020 when I started working in the medical field again and was always wearing a mask, and I went back to just a mustache with light stubble.
So anytime I've had a mustache it's really been because of the times, a restriction, or a purpose. I never really felt like I could just have a mustache even though about half of my 20's I had one. Now I probably won't have just a mustache until my 40's, because with my bad hairline, I've been frequently confused as a brother of my father instead of his son, who's 28 years older than me, because he has been rocking a mustache since his 20's. It ages you significantly, and having just turned 30 over the summer, I'd like to stay in my age group as long as possible.
One of the reasons that I've got a mustache is that I was working security and the only styles of facial hair allowed for those that didn't want to be completely clean shaven were goatees and mustaches. Personally, I can't pull off a goatee, but I came to find out that my mustache looks pretty good. It just took ages to come in as I've got very light hair in that area of my beard, so it takes more hair to become visible.
I do think the main reason that most men don't have mustaches is simply because it's typically the hardest part of the beard to grow.
Wait slow down. So you were in a band, joined the navy, then went to working in the medical field. That is cool.
@@tonyluengas8160 yeah, my early 20's was quite exciting. Unfortunately my life at 30 has tapered down significantly, but it was cool while it lasted, thank you
@@BlueJayWaters I agree with Tony; those details of your life ARE very cool! What band were you playing in?
@@averydoesstuff I played in a bunch, but the one that was touring and signed was my blues trio, Blue Jay & The Robins. Some things happened where we lost our deal, and I turned into a session musician for awhile, and that's when I joined the Navy
I grew a full beard as a rebeling to having to shave while in the army . That was over 35 years ago and on one occasion it was shaved off for charity and my son started crying saying that he wanted his daddy back, and now both of my sons have a full set.
I have a little girl, that I kinda want her to not know me without a stache. Or at least very rarely see me without one in the case of a good cause, I hear that cutting the stache is customary in India when a parent dies, and I kinda like giving my parents such a homage.
Kiedis, pronounced kuh-ee-dis. I have a trimmed beard and 10+ modern-day and vintage safety razors in my den (and my wife just rolls her eyes at my collection), plus a shavette, plus hundreds of many different razor blades 🙂 but hey, I do it for myself! Love your vids, keep it up, sir.
I've had a moustache and soul patch since I could grow facial hair. I didn't shape it correctly as a teen so it looked bad then but now I've got it so well styled it suits my face. I do buck the trend because many women still say they prefer I don't have it, but like Freddy Mercury I say no. Probably why I'm single but at least I'm happy when I look in the mirror.
I've had a mustache almost every day since the early 1970's. Every time I talk about shaving it off, my wife goes nuts. I did shave it off about 2 years ago and she complained every single day. It's back!
That's fun, my old man is the same, I've never seen him without a stache. He told me he only shaved it off once in his adult life, and it was because he lost a bet haha
I've only had mine for a little over 10 years, occasionally, I'll trim it to a couple milimeters if I screw up the sides, but I'm probably never going back to completely clean shaven.
funny enough, my gf of 5 years has never seen me without a beard.
that's because facial hair stubble hurts and scrapes up chapped lips
She loves a good mustache ride, eh? A little flavor saver?
I stopped shaving as soon as I got out of the army and have had a beard ever since. 25 years ago it stood out, now it's very common, at least where I live. 25 years ago it was hard to find a barber who could do a good beard trim, now it's routine and any decent barber does a good job..
Long beards have become very common, but even more common is guys who don't necessarily grow a beard, but they don't shave every day either.
the movie 300 was shown on cinemas in 2006 - that is the time I pinpoint for the comeback of the beard. You could even see the popularity of the "Leonidas trimming" as well.
I had to shave my 15 hairs off everyday from 17 to 22 and when I got out I still couldn't grow a beard. It wasn't until I was almost 30 before I could grow one. It used to be we could tell our own by a person with more than a 5 o clock shadow. Now we have to resort back to 40" steps.
@@dinos9607 no it was Duck Dynasty. Veterans started with 300 because that's when Special Operations started to allow pictures of operators with beards. This matriculated down to veterans because we could finally look like the guys we looked up to.
The rest of the populace started with Duck Dynasty and the women wanting to be their wives.
@@fathead8933 Maybe in the US it started with Duck Dynasy in 2012. However in Europe (where Duck Dynasty was largely uknown) the beard come back was already all the rage for at least 5 years and it all traced down to 300. I remember right after the movie seeing advertishments with male models sporting Leonidas-style beards as early as in early 2007.
Our pip culture is essentially yours. What Hollywood does with fashion, eventually cycles to the rest of the world. 300 came out in 2007. It wasn't the start of the beard. In 2007 Hollywood was still degrading beards as homeless looking and dirty. This is seen in Knocked up with the year long no shave dare. At that point, beards were still associated with Islam.
After I saw this video I decided to keep the stache, thanks for inspiring me 🙏
I've had a full beard from 2011-2023 , from 2014-2018 it was super big . mostly clean shaven now , sometimes a little bit of stubble , i feel like i was learning as i went. I may grow it back in 2024
A year ago I decided to grow a moustache and now I am always getting compliments on my facial hair. There are even a few men at my workplace sporting mos now.
I honestly think if you are confident in your style, people will appreciate it.
I went to trim my beard the other day with a buzzer. Chose the wrong guard and took most of it off. Left the stache, and less than 3 hours, someone had completed it. Short beard and thick chevron stache. I'm gonna rock it for a bit.
Same here...Mustaches are in in NYC...
I'm half inuit, half danish. The mustache is a common ground in masculine style between those cultures, so naturally I wear one. It also looks extremely good in my opinion. It's versatile. Matches both a casual or formal look.
I'm 1/4 Inuit (rest is Scandinavian, Faroese and Norwegian), so like you, I am rocking the stache!
Looks good 👍
Which half of you is Danish? The right half or the left half? Or is it top half/bottom half?
I grew a beard during the winter for long time but one year I got ingrown hairs on my lip and the infection got so bad that I had to shave so I could dig them out. Haven't really been able to go back since.
I've worn a moustache for maybe 2.5 years. The other week I wanted to see how I looked without it and while I got compliments about being clean shaven from a handful of people (notably those who said they hated it), it's not me. It's not how I want to style myself. Growing it back is looking awkward, especially since I'm shaving the rest of my face, but can't wait to have it back in full!
The motivations for growing or shaving facial hair is wild. I've always had my facial hair simply because I think I look better with than without. Just like how I choose not to wear a hat because I look terrible in hats. When it comes to dating, I discovered the positive side effect of facial hair weeding out the superficial, controlling types. The type who likes me for who I am tends to stick around.
Some things this made me think about:
- stubble
- hipster beard
- not putting much thought or effort in (clean shaven or "just let it grow") versus putting in a lot of thought and effort (maintaining a particular style and maybe using specialist products and tools).
When I did a quick search I found an amazing number of styles, and sub-styles, and special products.
I have almost always been clean shaven. Back in the 1970s I stopped shaving for a bit and grew a quite smart short beard and moustache. It was a friend who remarked that it made me look smart. I can't quite remember why I started shaving again; maybe after a while it got itchy and untidy, or maybe I did not like the look.
About using "products": in the 1970s I read an article that suggested that using soap on the skin (unless particularly dirty) is not good for the skin, so I stopped using those things on my body in the shower or bath. I did not get smelly. I just have a shower or bath with warm water every day.
I carried on using shampoo on my hair, though, until a year or so ago, when I read an article suggesting that shampoo may not be needed by some people, so I stopped using shampoo, and was surprised to find that my hair did not get greasy. In fact it may even have reduced a tendency to get itchy!
Not sure about the soap but I don't put shampoo in my hair and its always very soft.
Hi I work in the medical field and can confirm soap should never be used on your skin except for your hands. However, you should always use shampoo, it is necessary to break up oils, dirt etc. That being said, you should use it sparingly, between one or two times a week while using conditioner the rest of the week.
My dad had a mustache and there was only one time he shaved it in order to do a part of production that my grade school did. Needless to say I was anxious for him to grow it back.
I'm in my '60s, and I wear a Van Dyke style. I've had quite a few people comment that it looks really good, and the few times I've shaved it off, I have really regretted it. It surprising to me that many people comment that I dress better than others, and when they say that I usually bring their attention to the fact that I am not wearing anything nicer than other people around us. Sometimes well maintained facial hair adds distinction to whatever you are wearing and possibly makes people more aware of personal style.
The Van Dyke is seriously underrated! My husband wore one when we first met and it really caught my attention- it was an uncommon style and really suited his face. If I was a guy that’s probably what I would pick!
My mustache and I have been together since 1972 when we graduated from high school and enter the University. My high school had very strict rules about a clean face enforce by Notre Dame nuns. So one of 1st things done was to grow a beard and a mustache. After a few years, the beard left because it was costly to maintain but the mustache stayed. It is still with me. As matter of fact, my wife has never seen me without it and we have been together more than 36 years. Jose Sampayo
Interesting history! I first grew facial hair because too many female shop assistants would make remarks about me to my mother saying "your daughter is very pretty". Since then, it just depends on how I feel. Now that I'm married, my wife and son put up some resistance every time I threaten to shave. The biggest beards and moustaches I had were due to the pandemic and being under lockdown. There was just no need to shave anymore as we couldn't go out anyway.
Dude the mic you're using makes your voice sound so crisp. What mic is it?
Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott were the most iconic for the look for the Hollywood era . Especially the 80's .
Started experimenting with growing a beard and stache in college, got a ton of pushback from relatives. Then one day just said fuck it and grew it out again. I work in IT, so it's all guys mostly, the demeanor changed almost instantly, suddenly I felt that if I say something, it's not discarded as before. The funny thing was that before my vacation with no facial hair (basically baby face) I asked for a raise, no go, then after a few months I already had my beard and asked again, got the raise with no issues. To me personally facial hair is a sort of psychological armor. My wife said she hated facial hair, now she's the one usually advocating for me keeping it. I think facial hair is a huge part of manhood and should be cherished. Sometimes I feel like the more luscious beard someone has, the more authority he projects? Weird, but I bet I'm not the only one who sees this.
That was quite different (and a bit astonishing). Thanks for sharing that. I am gonna be 18 this March...and I already have around 90-95% of density of facial hair growing on...😅🤷. Definitely excited to try new and different sorts of styles.✌️
You are not alone. 💪🥸
Hey thanks man, I was a chemical worker for the last few years, and was completely disallowed to have any facial hair due to the need for full face respirators. I have moved on from that role to a different one and let my facial hair go and had a pretty bum looking beard going, every one said they liked it but I decided to shave it down, during the process I discovered I look damn good with a mustache and goatee. It's been a few weeks of pushback from the Mrs. And family alike but I'm keeping it. Thanks for validation in your youtube video.
my dad had a handlebar moustache back in the early 2010s. now he has a huge lumberjack beard
I have a big long curly mustache. Many people take double takes or smile at me, because it's just so apparent... and it's kind of funny to see something like that, right? Anyways, this mustache has gotten me many free burritos... made it's way on to a wine label... and once I was even invited into a Hungarian mustache competition, among other adventures... And that's not even the best part. The best part is... when in public, I'm surrounded by a world, that is generally, just smiling more. People around me... they're just smiling more. For a moment, in their day, they see me, and they smile so... if my mustache makes you smile, cool. The world is ugly enough. Big curly mustaches make people smile if for nothing more than a second, and for this reason, I recommend big curly mustaches. I did the shaved face thing in the Army and didn't like that... didn't like the beard thing... but big curly mustache, it was clearly one of the top 10 best decisions of my life. It's like freakin' Samson now. When I shave it, like once a year, my teenage daughter is just like.... "you don't look right dad." She's right... it's as though my super power of making people smile is gone... You can tell when the mustache is starting to look good again. The world gets smiley!
Dude. Good video. I recently retired after 26 years in the Air Force and have been experimenting with beards and mustaches since then. Gotta give you props on the image of Tom Selleck in your "closing argument". Well played. He was influential in my childhood.
Semper Fi ! I love the way you have incorporated history and tradition in the way you present your information.
Makes it so much more memorable.
The trend today seems to be for facial hair. Most men are wearing at least the 8 o'clock shadow look, right up to the full old fashioned spade beard. I can take it or leave it. Some of these guys look terrific, others not so much.
Here in U.K., moustaches are making a comeback, and I see a lot of young men wearing them (as well as cultivating 1980s-style mullets!).
Although this segment is focused more on moustaches, I did the "covid beard" thing back at the start of the pandemic, growing a (moderate) beard for first time. I'm middle-aged and not an overly 'hairy' person, but it largely filled in after 3 weeks and I gradually figured out grooming it into a well-trimmed look. My young female hairdresser remarked that it made me look "more contemporary" and "modern", which was an unexpected comment. My younger age 20-something friends and cousins were enthusiastic.
There is certainly quite a bit of peer competition among younger under-30s for facial hair, especially in the tech and creative sectors but also in blue collar sectors (where perhaps has been around longer). I have cousins in their 40s and 50s working in tech IT sector where the indirect peer pressure to fit in, be relevant (with facial hair) is felt in terms of keeping competitive with potential promotions etc.
For me personally, I enjoy a beard with a ball-cap and hoodie look but still getting used to it with a well-tailored suit. Beards are certainly high-maintenance. None of the hairs seem to grow the same length. Grey hair can be evident and if coloring, it is important to use a somewhat lighter shade and not worry about a few grey hairs poking through. Back at the start of the pandemic I set an expiry decision date of November 2022 to decide whether to shave it or keep it. Haha, decisions, decisions - I might give myself an extension to February 2023.
I'm 34 and really wish I had even facial hair, it's very patchy, large chunks barely grow, some bits grow loads, it's very annoying. Is there hope for me at this age?
@@Meloncholymadness I’m 34 as well and I’ve always been able to grow a beard, but it was thin in some areas (namely the mustache and right cheek). I tried a few things to make it fuller, and what actually worked was minoxidil (AKA “Rogaine”). I used it on my mustache and cheek for a year or so, and now, although I no longer grow a beard, my mustache is hella thicc and I couldn’t be happier with it. Been sporting it for about 3 years and now I get compliments all the time. I’d recommend trying it, even though it seems sort of taboo among men to use products like that. It works. And you can get a really cheap generic brand on Amazon that will last at least a year (the “6 month” supply).
@Michael Bennett I’ve noticed that the mustache has been coming back in style lately among the 20-somethings. I work in a bar near a huge cyber security/IT center and I see them everywhere lately. I wonder how this trend got started, considering how mustaches were often seen in a negative light not that long ago.
I like some grey in the beard. No need to cover it up is my opinion. I gotta know if you extend it again after February. 🤘
@@chrisblanc663 yup, a bit of grey can look good imo. I’m only 34 but have some grey in mine and my wife loves it. Hell, full grey can be cool too. Or white (as long as you’re not a jolly chubby dude with red cheeks).
Thanks for this video!
Ever since I finish my army duty and started my beard, my mom keep asking me to shave it because it makes me 'old' while my girlfriend likes it. The beard become part of me more than the hair and I was curios why facial hair, especially mustaches, became only for comic villains & hipsters.
Facial hair rules as long as it's shaped!
I've had a full beard since college. I have shaved it off few times, but the last time I shaved it off was about 5 and a half years ago. This is the longest I have gone with a beard since I since I was able to grow one. I look so much better with a beard.
I am a barber. For years my grandfather had sported a long mustache and short hairstyle since he started balding early on in his 20s. When he was in his late 60s and after years of me asking to bring him to the 21st century he decided to let me just fully shave his head and convinced him to grow a clean short beard. After we were done with the makeover I thought he looked 10 years younger and looked great. He was questioning at first then it grew on him and he said he loved it. When we went back to his house to surprise my grandmother the look of horror in her face was unforgettable. I thought it was because of the clean shaved head but she said that was not her concern. What she was upset about was the mustache being gone. She absolutely hated the beard and was refusing to hug him and scolded me for doing such a thing to him 😂. Needless to say 3 weeks later he shaved the rest of the beard and left the mustache long again although he now chooses to keep his head clean shaved as he enjoyed the feeling and clean look of it.
The stache separates the men from the boys. Younger guys can get away with a beard grown a little longer to fill in the gaps, but they cannot get away with tricks like that growing a stache. Tom Selleck was asked for mustache advice in an interview and he said: “There is no advice to give, you either have it, or you don’t”. Basically, unless you got a thick stache, you look silly with one..
it doesn’t matter. we’ll do whatever we want it’s our facial hair, mind you i have a thicker mustache and i’m 22
I have a very patchy beard, yet my stache is as thick as a mustache can be. I don't think a thinner stache looks silly perse. I've seen men my age sporting a more subtle mustache which suits them quite well
My mustache is kinda weak and my beard is patchy, but my chin grows pretty thick. I do a mustache/goatee combo. Trying to grow out my beard just makes me too disheveled and having just the stache makes me look like an asshole hahaha
I have one, have had it since I was a teen.
@@robertbeecroft5570 shave the chin a few times and get it made into a beard wig for yourself
This is brilliant and well-organized. Also, I love your perspective. Good stuff.
I think there is a renassaince for moustasches. I am 50 and have seriously started wearing one for the first time ever - and I love it. It is a thin one but a bit larger than Errol Flynns.
I grew my first mustache in 1965. I did shave it for some reason but by 1968 I had grown it back and had left the Navy. I have had the mustache since that time. Over the years I have had a beard of some sort off and on for many various reasons. I don't grow a full beard well. The hair is thin on my cheeks. But in later years I have just gotten tired of shaving. I do trim and keep it neat but to waste my time shaving to to please someone I don't really know, NO. I'm 78 and enjoying being myself.
My father wore a chevron my entire childhood, until one day when I was in late middle school when my brother and I came home and found him moustacheless. We were so shocked by it we thought we went into the wrong apartment. He grew it right back, since it was removed for some dental surgery he was gonna have. But yeah, that was a shock and because of it I've never read a robust well trimmed mustache as anything but a sign of paternal maturity.
When I was in middle school I was one of the only kids there that had an actual mustache, what I mean was that it wasn't just "peach fuzz". 20+ years later and I still proudly wear that mustache.
I totally agree--> 12:00, makes sense
This was a fun and yet surprisingly educational video. Thanks man!

Very fascinating. I grew my mustache in high school, 1972. I was a police officer from 1980-2010. I would do random observations and about 75% of men had staches. In 2019 I added a beard.
Were you cruising the streets of San Francisco with your leather uniform, naughty boy?
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.
Romans 6:23
John 3:16❤😊❤
Love these type of fashion history videos, great job! Keep videos like this coming. Thank you.
More to come!
During my time in the Marines, I always had a mustache. I had a baby face, and I wore it to help me to not look too young. Especially after getting promoted to Corporal.
I have always been clean shaven all my adult life (and as a child too I suppose). Anyway, it was from growing up in watching movies and TV shows that I noticed that the good guys or heroes were always clean shaven and the bad guys had beards and/ or mustaches. Of course, some bad guys were clean shaven too.
