On a related note, the Amish “beard and no mustache” came about because early on, the British Army required mustaches, and the Amish wanted to be sure that they weren’t like people who make war.
I think they still can wear mustaches to some degree, a prick mustache is always a good career move in the violent Arts. It also is the last piece of facial hair to go Gray so people like to Showcase that part.
One of my biggest fears (well, I only think about it when I’m shaving, but you get the idea) is that my electric razor dies before I’m done and I end up with a hitlerstache. I always do that part first, just in case!
In the army when I was in, you could only go to the edge of your mouth. Fuck, I need to even it out. Fuck, I went too far again…I need to even it out…oh, oh no. Fuck it I’ll look like a child for a week.
I’ve come so close to ordering that weird guide thing you bite down on… but Gibson just ruined it for me. I think it was like the evil sysadmin at blue ant had one or something?
It’s just been way to long since I read a book… not that one specifically, it’s just making me nostalgic for books now.
Spare thought about the people with the cleft upper lip, when the razor is dull that part doesn’t get shaved as much as the rest of the face so the person gets a 5:00 Hitler shadow later in the day.
The guy with a literal Hitler mustache who attacked Sandy Hook parents of dead children isn’t a good guy?
I am shocked.
OMG!
Show your support for the new right by getting a reverse-hitler shave job 🤣

The army required muataches? How long?

I’ll buy that for a dollar!
Really? I want to believe this so badly that wasn’t an intentional X-Files reference.
Yeah, really.
Delightful :-) Thanks for the link. There’s a bunch of facing tidbits there.
British officers being required to sport a stache might be my favorite so far.

You’re not alone, 20% of hipsters facial hair styles are directly attributable to this phenomenon!
That goes up to a whopping 40%… south of the equator.
Which makes this 60% of a global warming joke.
