mustache advice!
Hello
I'm currently growing my very own facial hair, its coming along nicely but.....
its getting to the stage where my 'tache is soon going to be entering my mouth.
now from what I know its just a case of snipping it back with some scissors.... but...
how do I do it? just a straight line? chop into it a big to give a rugged 'not perfect' look? don't snip and just comb it to the
sides? use some hair gum to style it?
thanks for any help

Buy some moustache wax and groom it into an 'Imperial / Handlebar' style.
If it's manly enough for Bill the Butcher...

Had a 'tache for years, it is just something you learn to live with. Like excess food sticking to it, the occasional
bogey that someone in a pub full of people will point out. Not to mention you will be barred from Ikea.

I have one, it has set lengths to trim at, but if I want like a 20mm length tache, the bottom bits will be in my mouth 
I just picture a straight line looking daft

Shave it off before you go spotty and the wife refuses sex because of your mouflon.....
Facial hair is spawn of the devil, and should remain on your chest.

I have a full manly mouflon of chest rug, appeared early 20s - but facial hair I am but a whimp, a delicate collection of grey/ginger and spots on my
top lip and chin.
I did the Movember thing last year, week 3 I scraped the horrible poo off at 3am with a blunt razor, the relief was legendary, a life high.
Hair is for chests and arse cracks, legs and German ladies armpits and stuff......not top lips.
Maybe if I wasnt spotty to start with....

Jesus, why isn't that common knowledge 
I'm starting mine tomorrow morning
@ the OP...if it's in your mouth, it's too long! As D Beddows mentions, a bear trimmer is your best bet, followed by a decent pair of
hairdressers scissors (from Boots), which are much sharper and easier to control than the kitchen scissors. The real beauty is, you can play around
until you find "your look" and then perfect it.
Some men can wear a tache well...

Long hair over the lips is easy to part with your fingers. Smoothies can be a challenge, but otherwise it never gets in the way of food.

Ignore him! He's still bummed that he couldn't grow one last time around and bailed out when it got too itchy!
Real men embrace the week 2 itch and come out the other side looking heroic!
PS - I'vw just started the process of growing an imperial. The ladies are going to love me when it's done!

BOOOOO! You Movember cheat! I hope you made a sizeable donation to make up for your lack of manliness!

Yes I still collected in true man superheroes fashion for movember, it was my bottle which went. The collection went ahead as normal...
Ignore anything Scootz says about me, he made it quite plain he was envious of my ginger white scraggy end when he told me I was the spitting dab of
George Cloney.
He's just embarrassed to admit it......
Ps - the next thing he will make about me, he will start telling you all I snore, another trip of fantasy....

looks like i'll be taking the scissors too it when im home, only 5 more days of it then hopefully i will look like a true porn*
i think this is the look I want eventually, I've always liked the idea of being a pirate
unfortunately I look like a genuine peadofile with just a tache (from my half hearted attempt previously) so I will have to be leaving the rest of the
beard too
benzine, is that your facial hair? it looks like it would be great if you were ever to go on hunger strike! simply plait the top to the bottom and
you're laughing! well you wont be as it would probably hurt

If your working offshore, I totally get not shaving but trying to craft something that looks sophisticated is best left to people like Scootz who
could feasibly shave 3 times a day....
I'm just your plain Northumberland dwelling, Scottish / Irish Viking mixture, compared to Scoot who was deposited in East Lothian by a Spanish
galleon.

Ivan is right... he doesn't snore. He actually bellows! It's like listening to a horse in the throes of ecstasy after
it's just run the Grand National course (twice). Forget what he said about the 'tasche preventing him from getting any nookie -
it's really because his missus banishes him to (the neighbours) garden shed at night so she can get some rest!
But yes, it's true what he says about my hirsuteness. I was born with a 5 o'clock shadow. If I don't shave in the morning, then I
resemble a Taliban. A very sexy, manly look, which the ladies love!
My whole family were blessed with a shiny coat. This is my Mum and 2 Sisters...

When I had a moustache many years ago ( I was told to start shaving at school as I had grown a moustache inadvertently) I just used to chew the ends
off when they got long enough to reach my mouth.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Where are the pics of Tom Sellick grinning like a Cheshire Cat in his Ferrari?
If anyone can make a moustache look porn, he's got to be in the top 10 - probably just behind Ron Jeremy ... Lol !
