The Moustache

[FedoraFan112390]

Can someone give me a list of leading men from the 20s-50s who were known for their pencil mustaches (besides Gable, Flynn, Colman and Niven)?

"I hate it when you give someone a sincere compliment on their mustache and she's not your friend anymore"

i decided to cut my beard into Leopolds beard from the illusionist movie. This is almost 3 weeks, my mustache is the best its ever looked. I am not cutting the stache at all, letting it grow out so i can shape it even more, it gets to a small point so its getting their.

I haven't seen my upper lip in 25 years or so and if memory serves me correct it wasn't all that pretty then so it stays.

Grew my very first moustache ever this month for Movember. It's 32 days old now but just can't bring myself to get rid of it after all the hard work and grief I've had to put up with. Not sure if I should just keep growing it or get the razor out.

As I said I've had one for a very long time,in my opinion that's a real nice stache I would say it's a keeper,looks good on you.IMHO,just to add if it looked like hell I'm not one to mince words so unfortunately I'd tell you that also(haha)

A man without a mustache just looks plain wrong, IMO.

Ha ha, that's ok 'nice hat', I'm a big boy, I could take it Funny how the appearance of a moustache can cause such strong reactions though. I had mates just laugh saying "get that thing off your face" and yet others thought it was ok and I should keep it. I guess it's because the moustache just isn't that common these days, whereas a face full of designer stubble doesn't even get a second glance.

You're absolutely right on that but it's the fault of you Brits anyway,you sent Beckham over without a razor and it's caught on(haha)I was serious about the stache looking good on you though,if my opinion means anything and it shouldn't I say keep it!!

I go back and forth on a mustache. I feel my face looks plain without it, but at the same time, I have to shape it just right because I have big lips, which gives my mouth a triangular shape and thus my mustache slopes a bit. My girlfriend had shaped it into basically a pencil mustache (shaved slightly a bit off the top) except it wasn't shaved in the center. I shaved it on 22 November but have been growing it back since.

About a month and a half growth.

It's coming along nicely,if I remember correctly you are going for the "Handle Bar" aren't you?

Yes sir. I get to grow it in the winter. My wife doesn't like it as much as I do.

If your avatar photo is of you,that's a good look IMHO,but hey might as well try the Handle Bar if you don't care for it they are easy enough to get rid of,that's the part that sucks 3 or 4 months to grow and only 5 minutes to remove(haha)As for the wife well.........
PS. if you go to page 29 on best photos of yourself I've always had a fairly good stache,never did the Handle Bar though,just not my style.

Adolphe Menjou? Lyle Talbot? (Hardly leading men, though)

Warner Oland? (Not really a "pencil" 'stache)

I had the Vincent Price special for a total three days before the wife made me get rid of it. Apparently, I look creepy sporting only a moustache...
