Happy Guy Fawke's Night!



Sadly, you must refer to our sister site Van Dykes of the Seventeenth Century to get the full experience of this holiday.

Also, one last question from late last night:

I do not understand, sir. You write that the best mustache grooming products are illegal. What could surpass the tradition half-and-half mixure of beeswax and petroleum jelly, I ask you?

The galvanic properties of penguin-based unguents could static-charge an overhand twist for an entire night of promenades or even the most brutally long of debutante balls. Additionally, the ear wax of the rare red panda was far superior to beeswax in many ways, allowing for more complex twisting and braiding. It would also last for days on a single application. Narwhal tooth combs are another product denied the mustachioed gentleman.

How entertaining and enlightening! If I ever teach a unit on facial hair, you can believe I will visit again for the most comprehensive guide I have ever seen!

After swimming my moustache in nice ale, I have to say a couple of things. Maybe three.
1: Do not leave a comment whilst drunk.
2: Please, comment about how to grow a moustache. Tips, clues, help in general would be really appreciated. Not for me, as I have one of my own, but for to spread the tradition.
3: I would reccomend moustache wax from Trumper's or Taylor of the Old Bond Street. Both of them are from superior quality, and reccomended from a mate here.

I presume all the readers are taking part in Movember? I've never had a mo before, and currently growing it for charity!

What is to be said of the custom of Amish men actually shaving the upper lip clean and tending a full beard. They claim it is in the bible although I've never seen that particular passage (and I've looked)
