I'm growing a mustache
Episode I: The Phantom Facial
Hair
I have decided that it's that time in my life where
i need to achieve the ultimate sign of manhood. Yes, grow a mustache. This
seemed like a good way to focus my lazy energy and have a response when people
ask why I am not shaving. The first thing i had to do was get a trainer, one
shouldn't grow a mustache without supervision. So I enlisted a gentleman named
Bill Hoppe to be my mentor. Bill has a mustache or other form of Facial hair on
and off since 1973. He seemed like a natural choice. He said I should start with
the beard and then, when it's ready, release the mustache on it's own. so that's
where I am. It's been three weeks and I have the beard going strong. It's
important at this stage to keep the neck clean and shaved, this distinguishes
you as some growing a beard, as opposed to a homeless person. This is also a
good time to work on your stroke. Bill is showing me some techniques.
