@ghost-of-a-duke saidor in my case to hide my double chin.
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.
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

@badradger saidThat's a weird place to have a moustache.
or in my case to hide my double chin.
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.
@shallow-blue saidGosh, I could have written this about me.

@fmf saidThat'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.)
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.
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.
