Maybe I'm just behind on trends despite subscribing to GQ. But today I was at the store and the clerk had a mustache that was a sight to behold. This young man was under thirty and otherwise reasonably attractive. I'm not down with sports people but wasn't there a Rollie Fingers with that look? Dali?

You know like long and waxed like the potato chip guy? I've seen beards as a trend on younger guys too. My son has a well trimmed kind of Amish thing going on. His brother a shorter version with light mustache. I mean facial hair can look great on some guys, but the waxed mustache...barbershop quartet much?
 

I think it's cool, but then I'm not the one wearing it.

What I really don't like is the old trend of guys looking like they couldn't be bothered to shave for a few days. It isn't a beard and it isn't clean-shaven - it's in a Purgatory all its own.

I know some ladies find it attractive, but to me it just looks lazy, like they're trying too hard to look like they're not trying.
 
Fine for the young. As for me...,.,It's easier to shave it all off rather taking the time to shave all around those tricky
facial hair thingies.
 

I've kept a trimmed mustache since I was 19......I've tried growing a beard a couple times but it grows thick in places and thin in others, kinda ends up looking like a rat with the mange. :)
 
I never liked facial hair on men until I met my husband, which he had none of for our first three years. Then he lost a bet at work and had to quit shaving for three months. I just loved it. It was soft, and had great red highlights, so for the next 45 years he always wore a beard. Here is a picture when he was trying to learn how to control it, and one od him shortly before he died. His mother never forgave me for getting him to wear a beard, but he looked great with it.

I don't like draggin' something really sharp across my face these days, so I'd skip a day or two, which the wife grumbled about the prickly whiskers. I quit shaving and grew a beard, I keep it at a #4 clipper length. It looks decent, my wife's happy...I'm happy.
 
Okay son, they put wax on and rip that sucker out...no way in heck if it's been shaved than more a decade good enough...nooooo
