• Facial hair:moustaches and beards oh my! by handlebar on 14 Jun, 2008 15:47
• I have been the proud wearer of a moustache for many a year and love to behold a well groomed and magnificent handlebar. Here is a question and request:Ho adventurous have you been in the facial hair department and please show off some photos of pre-sly and post-sly days with said facial furniture!
  
  Here are a few before and after pics:
  
  1st up--My favourite pic
  
  
  
  Then a dress up for the Whiskerclub beard and moustache competition:
  
  
  
  Here is one from last year after my first shave:
  
  
  
  A Victorian style wax job:
  
  
  
  I would say this is a favourite as well.I hope to have the stache back to that form in 2 months.
  
  
  
  Anyone else wish to share???
  
  Jim

• Good job in getting rid of the dome hair, handlebar.   That photo of you in the bowler looks like Hercule Poirot.

• Jim,  you know I've said this many times before - but your moustache has always been one of my favorites. 
  
  Six month beard from last year.
  
  
  
  
  My first time sly about three years ago.
  
  
  
  
  A few years ago - massive tailback goatee
  
  
  
  
  Ye olde handlebar - about three four years ago
  
  
  
  
  No, I am not Amish...
  
  
  
  
  My wife's favorite of me...
  
  
  
  
  I've come to deliver you from from male pattern baldness...
  
  
  
  
  Bringing facial hair back to the 80's...the 1880's
  
  
  
  
  My worst look ever...
  
  
  
  
  And my current look in my avatar - but I am letting that goatee grow to terminal length and letting the moustache grow into a huge handlebar 
  
  
  Regards,
  
  Matthew

• I don't have any historical photos handy -- I'll see if I can dig some up. Current look is in avatar.
  
  Have had everything from just the stach to a full beard, but haven;t been clean-shaven since Basic training in 1977.

• I can't come close to you guys.  Here is a blast from my past.  Late 70's if I remember right, it is a little foggy....

• Matthew, just noticing in the most recent pics your earrings are missing.  Is that a personal choice or a work thing.  Just always wonder about that in the workplace, as I can get a way with it on my jobs. (I'm a consultant)

• It was a work thing at my last place of employment - the holes are probably closed up now...

  Nah! I had mine out for many years but went back with 14 ga. CB Hoops.  It hurt a little having them put back in, but it was a good pain!    I'm going down to my local piercing emporium soon and have them stretched to 10 ga.

• Goin' through some old files I found me longest goat...never showed up here on the forum..
  
  That's during the time I would get Scott Ian from Anthrax a lot!

• Nice BA.
  
  Here is a couple of pics. I've pretty much worn a goatee since I got out of the military.
  
  A few years back when I was selling Real Estate in FLA. No stash.
  
  
  Most recent photo.
  
  
  Matthew, Handlebar, you guys have the best facial hair. I wish I would grow mine out like that but I always end up trimming it back down.
• #11 by BALDANDRE on 25 Jun, 2008 10:21
• Well, thanks fr8train!
  
  yea...the length of the goat was cool...but the texture...awful! man...friggin' too course and crazy...
  
  and grey (and the pic was before it turned BAD), for my blood
  
  Mr. Clean suits me just fine now!
  
  ...BTW I always vote for the no stash goat...always a bit more "hipster" for me!

• BA, Scott Ian was the first thing I thought of when seeing that pic....lol
  
  You can pull off damn near any look I think
  
  Handlebar, my uncle had one very similar to yours many years ago. He was acting in a play about Billy The Kid. He wants to grow it out again.
  
  Matthew, do people that haven't seen you in a while have trouble recognizing you? WOW! You're definitely a man of many faces.
  
  Train, personally I think your current look suits you quite well.

  Thanks PP!
  
  I dug the look and most times when it got that long it just kind of crept up on me...instantly longgoat!  I dig the Scott Ian vibe...so that made it cool too!
  
  BTW Fr8train...both goats work for ya!

• Thanks PP, BA. It's getting gray quick though. But then again I AM an old GOAT.
