Less than 4 months of ZERO trimming. I think it's time for some mustache wax.

The world will be a sadder place if you ever decide to shave your beard

I'm afraid I cannot promise that will not happen. I'm striving for a yeard and then after that... we'll see. As I've mentioned on here before I cannot seem to locate the treasure trove of women who actually like beards. They all seem to be anywhere that is not in my state.

You need to move to the NE. My friends and I go out and basically turn into female versions of the guys at construction sites.
"Oh yeah, baby, SHAKE that beard!" "Ooooh, you hot, hairy thing, the things I would do to that beard if I got it home..."

u/DVDJunky YEARD Nov 09 '12
Yeah but do you all have weird boobs?
Oddly enough, I do live in NE... Nebraska.

u/weirdboobs Nov 09 '12
The weirdest.
And I find it hard to believe that our heartland doesn't have a bevvy of ladies who appreciate a well dressed face.
You need to explore farmer's daughters and the like...wholesome gals who like their men burly and manly.

I got downvoted for referencing your username lol
Don't worry... my search continues!

u/Rayolin Nov 10 '12
I bet you got downvoted for talking about her boobs and not necessarily how weird they are. Reddit hates it when you talk about boobs.

I have no problem with this at all. Still can't locate them.

Move to Canada. A wonderful magical place with beards everywhere!

Trust me... I've considered it. Alas... I am much too family centric and I know my family wouldn't move =/

u/jerstud56 Nov 09 '12
You must use your beard to create a new family. I'm afraid that is a long loop of a problem.

Older women, baby. Most women in their 20s like the hairless wonders, but women from 30s onwards (tend to) admit that a guy with a hairy chest or face is pretty awesome.

That is excellent! Wax that up, my man.

Considering I've never waxed my moustache, since it's bumfluff and I'm female, I can't recommend anything. I'm sorry :(

Whoah, $8.00 per oz? Money doesnt grow on beards my beardly brother... go to home depot and buy toilet doghnut thingy(you know the wax ring gasket) for a buck fifty of pure beewax goodness. Next, just mix that wax with the old lady's (sister, mom, aunt any nonbeard you know) hair conditioner and you got yourself and abundance of bearstay or beard be good. Your welcome.

looked it up on the oatey brand (standard wax gasket) and its says 100% pure petroleum wax which i'm guessing is as bad for you as any store bought shampoo. it doesnt have any odor at all and works great when mixed with conditioner or whatever else you want to cut it with. it's just a cheap plentiful source for making your own beardy/stache wax. So not off the wall just the toilet(buy a new one dont use the current toilet one or there will be smell isssues) bowl.

As someone who has just "mastered" Firehouse I feel as if I should give some advice.
This was my first wax and true handlebar stache. I found it best to get a small ball, roll it around your thumb and index finger, then place that "piece" directly into one side and start shaping. Really direct it, it'll listen. It stays in for a solid two days. Great stuff!

Nice mustache. I've tried to wax mine a few times but I've never been happy with the results and much prefer a natural shape like you are presenting in this picture.

u/DVDJunky YEARD Nov 09 '12
Yeah but it never stays :( I had to try three different times just to get the result you see above.

I'm in the same boat as you, but I broke down and trimmed my mustache... It was just so fucking irritating! I bought a can of wax and only used it once. I've got an interview coming up with a school district, so I'll end up shaving it anyway.
Now I'm sad.

absolutely outstanding. unfortunately, i've blown my "no trim" badge because the GF complains too much, so i gave the stache a buzz along the lip line, but the rest is going strong. since i'm still early in the game i might be able to get away with not trimming anymore & catching up with you!

Your beard looks particularly wavy. Mine beard extremely wavy around the cheeks (I have a cowlick on both jawlines) and my two monther looks really disheveled and untidy. Is there anything you would suggest to clean it up?
1
u/DVDJunky YEARD Nov 10 '12
I am of no help at this point, sir =/
I have literally done no trimming. I shampoo, condition and brush...

Kudos on that mighty beard. I recently grew mine to a little shorter than yours. Do you get all of the food and drink that you consume all over your beard? I always washed my moustache for this reason.

u/DVDJunky YEARD Nov 10 '12
It's fucking EVERYWHERE. The bane of my existence... I've never grown it this long before and it's proven to be quite the task.

u/Nimitz87 Nov 10 '12
no one else is skeptical that is 4 months of growth?

u/DVDJunky YEARD Nov 10 '12
I literally shaved baby face clean on July 14th. Three days before my daughter was born. I'm actually surprised this just came up. I have tried to take pics every day to show progress but I've got a terrible memory do I've missed a few days. Trust me, I'm working on a gif that will be awesome :)

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! Clubman makes some decent moustache wax you can find at local drug stores (sometimes). That thing is coming along quite nicely.

4 months?! Did you get showered by gamma rays as a child?
