    I loved the fact he emphasized that different stashes are for different people and that everyone should find what suits them. Sometimes men can be a bit envious of other men's facial hair, but truth is - each to their own. And this video really nicely touches upon that.
    Thank you for showing this.

      True. But it could be said the mustache is the easiest to grow, so if you can't grow a beard you grow that. and that's sad

    I had a pencil mustache in the 90's, when I was in the Navy. In a black and white photo, I looked like a 1920's Sailor. It's a pretty bold style choice and really proves the saying, "Less is more."

    Questions:
    1) what style do you recommend for a guy with a narrow face but can still grow a full beard that connects to the mustache?
    2) what system to you put in place to insure that your beard lines appear as symmetrical as possible? They can easily fall out of symmetry.

It can make the moustache stand out without being tooooo stand out - if that makes sense. Thank you for making time to share your talent

    I wear the anchored stache, because I haven´t much beard and on my cheeks does nearly grow nothing. This fit´s kinda good to me :)

      Me too, it's the only moustache+beard style I can sport, but I'd really love to have a full beard :(
