the moustache blog

at mustaches of the nineteenth century, all your mustache curiosities and desires will be satisfied.

its proprietor writes:

"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."

this "daily celebration of the golden age of upper lip hair" will cheer anyone up.
