There may be more questions than answers, but this is, nevertheless, the thread for them. If people drift on to discussing facial hair in more general terms, I will alert their posts.

And while we are at it, how much longer will the hipster beard be fashionable? When did they first become popular? I've been away; I missed it all.

There are only 3 valid reasons why a chap would grow a moustache:

1. He has some irregularity with his upper lip which he wishes to conceal.
2. He has invented a time machine and is going back to the 1970s.
3. He is quite mad.

or in my case to hide my double chin.

when sanding a wooden jewelry box with abrasive papers, i choose carefully the coarseness of the paper to facilitate the smoothness of the surface of the box
my facial hair can attain various levels and grades of coarseness and i am able to adjust the abrasiveness of my face

such a wonderful tool is the hair protruding from my skin
i rub it everywhere that needs scouring

That's a weird place to have a moustache.

In my case, it's twofold. One, I cannot be bothered to shave every two days when I could rather trim my beard every two weeks. Two, I genuinely look better with than without, because it goes so well with my luscious mane (or, at other times, well-cut coif) of hair.

Gosh, I could have written this about me.

Although there is one thing I can add: I FIRST grew a beard - a goatee, in fact - in order to play Smirnoff in a student production of Chekhov's The Bear.

That's a good reason. I first grew a beard and moustache, literally, because it was easier than keeping up with when I needed to shave. I let my hair grow out because of lock-down. But I kept it grown out because it looks quite good under a beret, on the stage, and fits with the renaissance theme of the opera we're doing. (We're going stylised next, so I'll probably have it cut soon.)

I knew a guy who never trimmed any part of his beard, including the moustache. His moustache was so long it blended into his beard, and I could never see his mouth.
You couldn't see where the moustache ended and the beard began. And whenever he talked all I could see was the moustache part of it moving up and down.

It was a strange sight, and even stranger was the fact he could eat without getting any food stuck to his facial hair.

I didn't grow a mustache until I was about 40.
