It is sad to see a man balding on the head and the mustache so young.

The one-stop blog spot for your Nineteenth Century Mustache needs!
Dear Gentle Reader,
Many of the following pages have graphic and clear images of the masculine mustache in all its forms, both sublime and grotesque. My intent is not to shock or titillate, but merely to inform on the subject. The Nineteenth Century gave us many things, but above all it was a hotbed of facial hair experimentation and this is but a poor sampling of those many lost forms.
Confused?

alas, i must disagree. bald men with moustaches can be quite incendiary (ahem).
I have faith in this young lad. He'll go at that mustache full chisel and come out of it with something winning.
Spike compiled history’s top 10 mustaches of all time and their stories, and I thought you might like to check it out. My fav is Salvador Dali.

“Since the dawn of time the light of creation has shown down with favor on the most noble of man-growths: The Mustache. This is its story as told through its most important citizens.”
Giambi has the right idea…

Glorious site for a glorious century. I’m strictly on the fence when it comes to this issue, as anyone visiting my own mechanical journal can confirm. An all-concealing cap can be a blessing, allowing viewers to concentrate solely on the ‘tache, though whether such a set up is acceptable indoors/in bed remains a moot point. Advice welcome.
I must say, a rather bo(a)ld effort. Congratulations Sir!
Perhaps sad, but nonetheless all too common. I myself, much as it pains me to admit, have more hair on my upper lip than on my head.
However, God has blessed true Men with the gift of growing a mustache even if they face the Recession of Hairline or worse, the Baldification of the Scalp.
This stuff is hilarious! Bookmarked!
Tut, tut chappies. Your salvation is at face. A full mustache skillfully fashioned can turn the baldest of men into a dashing socialite. I call it the Trump Syndrome.
HawrHawr Oh and BTW... I'm having a BIG-OL party on my drawbridge in Heaven lasting for years. You're more than welcome.
