A lot of men want to know how to grow an epic mustache. I don't blame them as it's a great feature that you can have on your face. The difference between an epic mustache and a handlebar mustache is the fact that the epic has a beard while the handlebar doesn't.
The best way to grow an epic mustache is to set a goal and stick to it. In my other how to grow a beard video I stressed the point of making a goal that was based on months of growth. With the moustache the trick is to make a goal based on length.
A mustache grows at various rates depending on who is growing it and it can even grow at a different rate than your beard. This is why it's important to set a goal of length. The ideal length is for the mustache hairs to grow down past your lips. The key to doing this is not trimming the mustache at all if you want to grow it fast. You can trim it along the way but realize you will be slowing down your progress.
Along the way using mustache wax and a comb really helps keep the wildness at bay. Keep in mind that there will be some awkwardness, irritation, and frustration as your mustache will be touching your lips and getting into your mouth. This is normal and to be expected. You will get used to it over time but the first time around it will be very strange, resist the urge to trim it during this phase.
Be aware that you will potentially receive a lot of comments on your epic mustache, both positive and negative. An epic or handlebar mustache isn't a common thing seen in public and people will react to it.
I've been trying to grow my mustache for 6 minutes and 42 seconds and it still hasn't worked
You're expecting too much, too soon. I found that I really turned a corner at the 7 minute mark. I suggest you start again and exercise a bit more patience.
You'll need a toothpick and a small piece of tape for your mustache. You'll should also try to get one of those old style pocket watches on a chain, since those look great with your future mustache. Just open up your watch glass, wedge the toothpick just under the minute hand, and tape it down for about 5 months and 2 days. Try not to forget or you'll have mustache all over the place.
It takes at least a Half an hour. Your patience will be rewarded.
I've been trimming my moustache every few weeks and not sure if I could really pull off an epic moustache, but after checking out your videos it gave me a boost of confidence to try! Just ordered wildwood beard oil, beard pocket comb, moustache wax, and moustache comb!
Epic beard sir! Thanks for the videos
Hey Chris, thanks for your order! I look forward to you getting it! Best of luck on your epic mustache!
Love the outdoor chair.
Got an epic mustache similar to yours. I keep my beard length at about an inch and a half to two inches so it really stands out. You're right about it driving you nuts until it's tamed and under control. I've had mine for about 6 months now and will never go back to short. Love the look, feel, challenge, all of it. It gets a lot of good responses from folks too.
Love the channel, keep up the good work for all us beard growers and mustache men out here in cyber land.
MrMetuber1 Once you go for an epic mustache there's no going back :) Thanks for watching and enjoy your mustache!
Best Beard/Moustache advice ever.
The first time I grew out an epic (8month) moustache, I got a lot of negative comment and a lot of positive comments. The positives were very encouraging, "NICE BEARD!" etc, and the negatives weren't all that original and ranged from "you auditioning for Duck Dynasty?" to my sister laughing out loud while we were having a semi-serious conversation, "I CANT EVEN WATCH YOU WHEN YOU TALK!!!"
Presently, the job I have requires that my moustache not be "epic" and so I trim it to slightly less than epic status.
First time I grew one out it drove me crazy... Next time I grew it out I barely noticed.
Gonna need to see a video on "How To Make-Out Whilst Having An Epic Mustache". :)
Jonathan Grandt The first epic mustache is always tough but like you said the second time around you hardly notice. I'm at the point where I forget that I even have a mustache!
I have an epic moustache and I think that you never get 100% used to the hairs around and in your mouth. But it does get better. Only last night when I was flossing, one hair got tangled with the dental floss and ended up getting stuck between my teeth. I got it out unharmed, but that was a first! If you want something like this, you can say goodbye to drinking from a glass or a cup, stock up on straws! I actually carry one around with me just in case. And eating some foods like ice cream, chips and dip, or any other messy foods is definitely a challenge. So stock up on napkins too! As soon as I'm done eating, whether at home or a restaurant, it's off to the rest room to wash up and dry.
Your beard inspires me to grow my mustache out, and to get past that awkward phase of it coming in contact with the mouth. Keep it up!!
MarksBucket Best of luck with your mustache Mark!
The best part about my beard and mustache is, it makes you think about eating the proper type of food. I noticed the more man made the food is, the more it gets in the mustache. It's almost like a learning tool for your brain to detect what food is healthy. I eat mostly a carnivore diet and I reolize that animal fats dont make my face itch, but plant oils make my face itch. I can eat a steak and have fat all over my hands after rinsing my plate, and I actually use that oil to spread into my beard 😅. I know the people in older times use to make lye soap which had animal fats in it.
John is not kidding about the mustache wax and how it works to manage a larger mustache. I am not at the point of the epic stache yet (6 months of growth or so, but I trimmed a couple of times before I decided to go big). I just recently purchased the wildwood wax from the Beard Baron and its making things much more tolerable for me. One of my favorite responses to a gentleman being questioned condescendingly about why he is growing a large beard was simply "Beard equals man." I think about that comment often when looking for the strength to push forward.
Pinetop here (from FB). Thanks for the new video! Apparently I'm growing an Epic Mustache and I had been refering to it as a handlebar. Thanks for clearing that up. Epic sounds much better. Anyways thanks for the tips! I've been trimming it up on my upper lip like you stated because it was driving me a bit crazy. But actually I had just started letting it grow out. It's starting to do it's thing, so off we go. I'm about at my 4 month mark and loving it! I love that it's starting to get peoples attention. Thanks again John!
Hey Pinetop, it's a common thing to call it a handlebar but it's really only a technicality that you'd run into in the competition circuit. It's great though as you're realizing the bigger it gets the better!
Great advice again,thanks beard baron. One month in to growing my 'tache and you're right...I am already getting loads of comments,mainly positive,a few negative...a few just plain odd. My wife is coming round to the idea I think and as I said to her, "judge it when it is finished....I don't judge your hair cuts/dying/styling half way through....I comment when it's finished...so please do me the same courtesy!! Thanks again,Tim
tim garner Good approach Tim! And you've got the wisdom right as a mustache should never be judged while growing out. Great to hear your wife is on board, that's half the battle!
The main thing I took from this is that in order to avoid chewing on my 'stache I need to use wax, not steel. When that clicked into place, a whole lot about why I don't quite have the mustache I want clicked into place right behind it.
So thanks!
I'm working on growing my beard right now. first time ever in my 37yrs on this planet. its been about 2 months and so far so good on my cheeks and chin but boy you aren't kidding about the mustache growing at much different rate, mine is super slow. I also have two slight bald spots on each sides of my lips so I have to wait for my mustache to get longer to actually connect to the rest of the beard... the other thing is my hair is a light color so from a distance my mustache looks very thin but up close you can see a lot of hair, I'm just now getting to the point that the hair is breaking over the top part of my lip. maybe one day I'll have a nice beard like yours! thanks for all the tips. I sent you a photo of what I'm working with by the way
Time and patience are the 2 big ingredients as you are currently discovering. It's completely worth it and congrats on your first beard! Enjoy it!
I love how you don't have any splices in your vids. Just straight talk from start to finish. No editing needed. Keep up the great work man
Thanks for the inspiration!!! Im new to your channel and growing my beard/mustache. Im about a month and a half in growing facial hair and I get comments that I look old or whatever. I will definitely keep your words of encouragement in mind! keep up the good work, and nice beard, man!
geebergeistify Glad you found some inspiration! Best of luck with your beard!
The "it makes you look old(er)" comments aggravate me. Don't hear them often but when I do my go to response is "well if you don't like it, don't look at it" seems to shut everyone up pretty fast. May have a lil to do with im 6 ft tall 220 pounds and covered with tattoos lol
YOU CANT ESCAPE THE EPIC MUSTACHE!
haha. do a how to eat with a beard/mustache next!
Bro I always rock a beard and growing mine out again. My mustache grows a lot and I have never let it grow to it’s potential and it’s not stopping lol. My mouth will soon be covered in a couple months. Your beard bro is awesome and I’m glad I came across your channel. Great beard bro👍🏿
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and your support! :)
great vids, I'm pumped to be able to start growing my facial hair back as I no longer have to head out to work sites with H2S gas (have to be clean shaven so your respirator seals on your face in case of a gas leak). The mustache has always been the most irritating part. I'm 2 months into growing and appreciate the info and inspiration to power through and practice "when in doubt grow it out".
Ryan Leslie Glad you're enjoying everything Ryan and the fact that you get to grow it out!
Love your videos, it really shows that you are invested in the world of the beardz and are eager to share your experience! I'm on my 3rd month of my first try to grow and have only got positive feedback which feels great.
Great to have you aboard and that you're already enjoying your beard!
I had a lot of trouble growing my stache initially. What really helped me was when I finally trained most of it to grow to the sides. I don't like the feeling of wax, but oil and balm helps to train it.
I love how you are in a different place every time I watch a video. Also great tips, some I learned over the years with just a nice tight beard but these videos have helped with my failed attempts at a large beard. Thanks.
zulu2132 Thanks for watching and finding the info useful!
I started using beard oil after watching your video on beard oil. Had I had this in high school, I would probably have stopped shaving at that point in my life. This stuff is amazing. And know with a better understanding of mustache wax, I can't thank you enough for making these videos.
Also, it looks like you got a new layout on the website. Looks really nice.
Yes! Please make a video about dealing with the mustache and eating. I've decided to let my mustache grow out and the worst part is eating or just feeling like I have hair in my mouth. Sometimes I actually do get hair in my mouth lol.
bro you reached down and touched my soul, I'm in the phase where it's starting to hit my lip and it's awkward as fuck. thanks for the motivation gonna keep the beard going strong.
Great advice Baron. First time growing one and it's pretty hard, but it's getting better and better. There is coverage where there was none, specifically close to the nostrils it's starting to get coverage. Will probably take a year total to get a mustache like yours, it's been 5 months now.
A lot of people can grow a decent beard within 1-2 months, but a decent mustache could take 6 to 12 months. So even though progress is of course individual and varies with each person, mustaches really does appear to grow much slower on average than beards.
hey man this is very good to see that someone else has the same ideas as me. I am a year no trim and its the only way to achieve a decent moustache. I have a plan to get my own video on the same theme, plus lots others of course
This is a great channel. I'm about 5 weeks into my first dedicated attempt at growing a beard. Lots of great tips, and inspiration here! Thanks man! 👊
Four months into my first yeard and I'm finally starting to love the stache! Definitely gotta comb it and wax it, but it's really looking good! Thanks for all the great vids!
This is not my first time growing a handlebar mustache (my beard doesn't connect and is pretty thin so i shave it)
the only tip i have ever gotten before was from the internet and it said to not trim my mustache. this is my third time growing a dedicated handlebar and i can see how this is the most important thing. but having a knowledgeable bearded man encouraging me to keep going really helps. I've only had it for 2 months but I'm already getting lots of compliments on it because i wax it and comb it. thank you for your encouragement it really helps cuz i know the very itchy period is coming.... and I've set my goal for christmas this year!
i've never had any comments on my moustache nor have i had any negative comments on my facial hair. I think part of that may be the fact i'm 6'4" and 240lbs. I think one of the important things about having a large beard/moustache is wearing it proudly no matter the length/style.
Confidence is certainly key, but a 6'4" frame helps as well :)
I recently started growing a mustache about three months ago. I have a little bit of a natural curl. In that time, I did trim the hairs at my lip line cause I hated the way it felt and it made eating and drinking a new chore. After watching this, however, I feel like I ought to just let it happen as irritating as it might be at first. I already have a long goatee but I am letting the rest of my beard catch up. I am excited to get your wax and recommended combs in the mail so it will make growing easier. I think the one thing that I don't like the most about my mustache is the hairs that are growing between my beard and mustache at the corners of my mouth because they ARE mustache hairs but they are sort of rogue right now on their own waiting for the actual mustache to catch up. I'm tempted to but them but in the meantime, I recently (before being recommended to your videos and website) came across some decent pomade that I use just on the ends and a bit throughout just to help get those hairs out of my mouth haha.
Wow this guy replies to every single comment. That's some thing you don't see much you tubers do.
rockyvideomaker123 I try my best Rocky!
Growing a beard for many years and reached a very decent full beard level that reaches the sternum. It wasn't easy. There are stages to it where it looks weird and just doesn't want to comply. But it is so worth powering through. Something I only recently added, is to stop trimming the mustache. And damn is that hard. Chin and burns(?), no problem, but the mustache is not only in your way all the time, it also is the one bit that can generate some funny looks while it is growing to length. My personal goal is to be able to comb all the hair to each side. After about a year, still far from it. Anyway, just wanted to say: The mustache piece in growing a beard is the hardest bit. Stay focused. And if you are, I am sharing your pain.
dear beard baron, im mexican american my genetics kinda gave me a cantinflas mustache, i have a hard time growing out the middle i love and envy the way a lot of other beards look with the full bulk of hair directly underneath their nose; mine just kinda splits there a good half inch of thin hair area but the outer ends are growing fast my hairs are kinda coarse so idk what brand of mustache wax to go with to kinda tame those long thick whiskers with but thanks for the inspiration i will not trim till im satisfied.
Random Rob adhd embrace it mines like that too I go full on conquistador with a big goatee as well.
thanks! im currently growing it out again, this time i wont have to shave due to my job; i work in the garage now so i wont be around customers so much thats the only reason i had to shave.
Sometimes I comb my mustache straight down so it blends in with my beard. It makes my mouth disappear and people give me strange looks.
Another great upload.The advice about not trimming as it reaches the top lip has just come in time.
That stage of the game is probably the hardest one to get by as the impulse to trim is at an all time high.
Cleared both lips and couldn't take it any more. I could not tame the middle portion of my mustache. Trimmed just enough off the middle "toothbrush" region, and it is infinitely more manageable. This took some courage because I thought I might ruin my mustache completely, but it looks good. I'm still getting a nice handlebar effect by letting the rest continue to grow.
Haven't quite tamed the epic moustache, but it's just another chapter in my epic beard odyssey.
Bobby Uttcrumbs It's definitely a good move to trim that if it starts driving you nuts as it can be very difficult to get those hairs to obey.
You are really touching on a sensitive topic for me: to let the stache grow over your mouth or not. So far I have trimmed the part of my mustache under my nose, but let the rest of the whiskers grow out to the side. The feeling of the hairs growing into my mouth is too agonizing. But perhaps with your mustache wax (which should be arriving soon) I power through until it's long enough. In any case, thanks!
Hey Jens, it's definitely tricky but I found my first time through that I got used to the hairs about 4-6 weeks in. I'm still aware of them but they just bother me that much like they used to!
I also started to grow my stache later on after growing the rest of the beard. I have the long sides, but the area above my lips I ended up breaking down and trimming it a month ago. I'm giving it another go, this time with some of your wax.
I can't wait for your video on eating with that epic stache. I'm in def need of tips for that. The current girl that I'm into LOVES my beard... (+100 pts right there), but I'm not sure her reaction when I grow that epic stache haha.
Wish me luck.
Well you definitely have the right idea! Just sticking to your guns and not trimming the middle part is the key. Having a supportive girlfriend really helps as well! Best of luck!
When I look at your facial hair the word that comes to mind is LUSH haha, I'm jealous
Great video. I've been growing mine for 5 months, but the struggle I have is that there is no real line between the outside edges of my mustache and my beard. Makes styling it a challenge. Considered lowering my beard line a little to make the mustache more distinct, because it's sort of a mess right now.
Great video. To me, a beard is nothing without an epic moustache. I mean, I don't really judge a guy that grows an epic beard and keeps the moustache completely trimmed, but it just doesn't look good in my opinion. I'm on my 5th month and yeah, I'm getting there and was wondering if my moustache would grow or not since my beard is very long compared to the moustache and, while I do remember trimming the moustache a bit around the end of the first month, I don't recall doing it again ever since.
My beard grows faster than my moustache. I can trim back my side burns and a week later they're already back! I guess that's the way it is!
Mark my words you epic bearded friend, I will have an epic mustache and beard, just like you, in due time. I would really like a how to eat and drink video tips n tricks!
You got the right attitude Travis! No worries as I'm putting together an eating/drinking video :)
Sir, you are the baron indeed! A lot of good advice, I've shaved recently, so looking forward to trying out your method and seeing the results in half a year :D
That bowler/derby looks great on you, suits you well!
Luis S Thanks Luis!
You're welcome!
What brand is it? Wool felt or rabbit fur?
Just got my Wildwood mustache wax today! Already love it, really helps tame those hairs and keep them in place. Love the smell of the Wildwood too!
Great to hear you're already enjoying the Wildwood Zack!
I started mine ('stache only) Dec 1 2014, but it's been trimed a few times by a barber for shaping and evening. Yes, eating certain things, like tacos, pizza, or anything that is normally messy, is even worse. Definitely have to drink with a straw, there's no other way. Epic mustache, I like that description! At one time they were cosidered a normal fashion item, but rare today. I do get comments on it, good and bad. Unfortunately mine is grey now : ( but I can't do amything about that. I guess we're lucky enough to be able to even grow an "Epic" mustache, not every man can. I love looking at pictures from the 19th, early 20th centuries when they were common. Some really great moustaches back then! Oh yeah, the derby looks great on you. Right out of the 19th century! I read a newspaper article about Wyatt Earp from the late 1880s in Colorado where the female reporter talks about his tall, athletic physique and "great droopy moustache." Now THAT is Epic! My wife doesn't understand. I don't have a bowler, but I do wear a cowboy hat (replica of Sam Elliott's in Conagher). And living in nyc I do get some looks, but a lot of compliments too.
Always look forward to your videos. I'm now at 9 months of beard growth, and I've been letting the stache go for about 5. It did drive me absolutely insane!!! Now that it's getting longer it's a little more manageable. The growing out part took a lot of patience for sure. I have a super wavy beard and stache. I tried the wax just like you did on your previous video, but mine didn't come out that great. I still use your combing technique for the stache though, and I put some oil in it, and it looks fine. It'd be cool if we had a place where we could upload pictures of our progress. I've been watching you since your first video, and you'd be so proud of how far I've come. Thanks for all that you've done for us new beard growers.
Hey Jason, great to hear you're taking your beard to a whole new level! I agree, the first time really growing out the mustache is brutal. As time goes on it gets easier and you become more accustomed to it. I forget what it's like to not have a mustache this big!
The Beard Baron Just uploaded a profile pic.. Thanks for the inspiration!
Looking great Jason! Keep it going!
So cool I've been wanting for years to grow a handle bar mustache but I never had the patients after the 1st bad trim I'd give up going to finally see this through so glad I found you thanks.
I remember deciding to grow out the tash..
Best decision I ever did, couldnt imagine going back to a short tash now!
Same here Gareth, once I did it I never looked back!
It completes the look, a badass tash just compliments a great beard!
Just wanted to say you have an AMAZING beard!! There's a lot of people out there that don't appreciate a good beard and an epic mustache... Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos and for the confidence boost because there's too much negativity about beards out there.. Been growing my now for about three months still got a ways to go but looking good it's coming together:) thanks again man and I really mean that from my soul brother!!
Almost two months into my first attempt at an epic 'stache. Everything said about the first time being a struggle is accurate and I'm just trying to enjoy the adventure!1
I don't blame you for being heavy handed. I just got some citrus bay and it's quite delightful.
Yea I can't get enough of this stuff!
Absolutely perfect video on describing everything and what you're going to experience. I'm 10+ months into my beard and mustache, only thing is, I hate the feeling of wax in it. I tried using some other things like water based pomades, but I just don't like anything in there haha
Lol I love the random recliner in the woods by a pond XD
really love the chair out in the middle of nowhere. been growing the beard and mustache for a little over 2 months now and i love all your videos!
Working to grow my first epic mustache. I am 3 months in. Eating and drinking is starting to get difficult.
Could you do a video on eating/drinking and etc. with a epic mustache soon?
Thank you for the TH-cam channel and products!
I'm 22 so my beard hasn't filled in completely yet (especially between my lips and my chin, and I have no connectors whatsoever) but my mustache is fierce. It's practically begging to grow out into an "epic stache." Would it be unwise to stop trimming it since my beard isn't full yet? I fear that it might look kind of awkward.
You trying out for a civil war movie punk? Lol that was funny but awesome beard
Please please do the video on eating and dealing with getting hair in your mouth. I'm dealing with that right no and it is freaking annoying. Maybe mustache wax is the answer but sometimes i am to lazy to put it on and I just go straight to eating. Thanks for your videos!
I don't use any comb or wax you can train it to grow the way you want just keep on guiding the way you want it to go with your fingers.
Hello Baron, is there any tip to make the moustache grow a bit more in the middle?, because for some reason, in the middle part of the upper lip, i have very little to no facial hair.
Just trimmed my mustache last week. Thank God I didn't completely shave it off. It was driving me insane! I probably even accidentally ate a few mustache hairs with how much they go into your mouth while eating, but I'm glad I found this video. Mustache is about 1 1/2 cm. and the beard is about 3 inches. I'll let you know it goes.
Great video....learned some things I never knew about growing a mustache. Thanks.
Look at that magnificent beard glistening in the sunlight. I'll be purchasing your beard oil shortly.
It does tend to glisten :)
My problem lies in the fact that I have very thin growth in the gap below my nose, and the whiskers are more blonde which makes them less apparent. The hairs towards the edge of my lip I have grown over 2 inches before and I can curl them out to the side nicely, but I still want the full lip coverage without a distinct gap in the middle; its like my mustache wants to be epic everywhere but the middle :P ... it really bugs me, I want to look in the mirror and see nothing but epicness from the nose down but nope just don't have the coverage in the middle of the stache
The Beard Baron I'm currently 16.5 years old and I found your video very inspirational. What age do you think it would be an appropriate time to start growing an epic mustache?
Negative comments?! Dude, your beard is amazing.
Justin Davis You'd be surprised Justin!
Cannot wait until I am old enough to be able to grow a proper moustache and beard
I think you use a little too much beard oil.. That thing's glowing like crazy!
I get a little heavy handed sometimes :)
Thank you for the advice, I've been getting some negative comments but you've encouraged me to ignore them and keep growing! Thank you Sir for all you do!
Thanks for making your videos! I'm a first time beard grower here. Lol. I've been shaving since my facial hair started growing. I have been shave free since the beginning of July and it's really tough to not shave it or trim it. You've got my sub!
Another awesome video! Best beard channel on TH-cam, can't wait to see more!
Thanks man! More on the way!
I'm about 6.5 months into my mustache, with very minor trimming. I've noticed the center of your mustache goes pretty much straight down, and isn't swept to the sides, even at the ends of the follicles. Do you trim the middle portion to maintain this "straight" look, and then sweep everything else to the sides? Great videos by the way, they have helped immensely.
i was waiting for this one :D good video buddy
Please make more vids! I follow beard TH-cam's, but yours are the best. I loved the party on you did this year.
Love the setting! Beard Baron rocks!
Thanks Stephan!
How is your hair so thick ? Wish mine was like that
Saw the outdoor chair and instantly liked
So I've recently stumbled upon your channel here. Really enjoying the content and I just want to ask you a question about the curling of a mustache. When is the best time to start adding in the curl? would it be once you start applying mustache wax to manage and train the epic mustache or would it be later after the mustache has started to fill in properly? I noticed you've said your mustache isn't grown to have a curl and I'm just curious what the difference is in growing an epic mustache like yours and one that curls. If I missed this in one of your other videos I'm sorry for asking an already explained answer.
This was super helpful thanks for making this! Right now I'm working on growing out my beard and mustache. Just gatta wait for the beard hairs on the front of my chin to get a little thicker and darker. But one thing I'm concerned about is eating Chinese food. Like specifically noodles with sauce on them. I'm worried it would get all up in my beard and stuff. Anyone here have any experience with that?
Sauces (and anything liquid) are your basic enemies of the beard when it comes to eating food. I'll be doing a video soon on eating/drinking with a beard and mustache.
My wife recently challenged me to grow "an epic handlebar" moustache, so for the umpteenth time in my life I'm growing my facial hair. (I'm lucky that it grows quickly. The short beard/moustache in my photo -- I was 'Zombie Mr. T' for Hallowe'en a couple of years back -- took perhaps two weeks. And yes, I really did shave my head accordingly.)
I've never grown my moustache very long, however, so this video was quite helpful. Must resist urge to trim hairs....
For the training phase, I'm using the Clubman neutral wax. It's more of a cream, really, but it's easy to work with while my hair is still relatively short. My facial hair is quite wiry and it has a mind of its own, so I'll need to be vigilant.
By the time the Clubman's all gone, I hope I'll be able to move on to something a bit less like glue and, since I enjoyed this video so much, I've ordered some of your Citrus Bay wax for when that day arrives. (Plus a comb, too! The one that comes with the Clubman wax is rather flimsy.)
G.F. Graham Thank you for your order! Vigilance and patience is the key especially when it comes to the epic mustache as it can be very frustrating and trying at times. Just keep the pace!
Been growing a beard the past 5-6 months and I'm very close to making this my new goal. However, eating and kissing seems like a nightmare. How are you guys dealing with it?
ive been growing my beard for about 1.5 months so far after shaving a 3 month beard off for a job. The only problem i have is slight patching on both the left and right side of my face, the hair on my cheek doesn't quite connect to the sides of my mouth, i also have patches on both sides of the soul patch area and the middle of my mustache doesn't grow anywhere near as fast as the rest of it. My mustache goes into my mouth slightly and tickles my nose but the middle directly between my nostrils doesn't grow much
Thank you for this awesome video. I'm on my stache journey now. Rounding 4months along with the beard
I wanted to grow an epic mustache, but I failed. I wish I had listened to the "when in doubt, grow it out" advice before trimming it. My upper lip is too thick so I have no idea of how I should grow and trim my musctahe. Any advice?
The Beard Baron is a beardsaver.
Hi, great video! I am 21 years old and have light brown full beard with a bit of blonde, especially on the mustache. My mustache covers my upper lip, except the damned middle part of the upper lip that grows short. Some people say that massaging helps, and some say that shaving it helps, some people say to sit and wait for it. My father have the full mustache, but I don't have it yet. Shit, the winter is coming and I need hair there. I guess I should sit and wait, if there's no other way.
Mustache is long enough right now. It needs a trim. I think I could figure it out, but I'm going to wait for your tutorial. Thanks for your input, Beard Baron. You're fantastic.
You're welcome Clemens! I hope to have the mustache trim video up within the next 2 weeks. Stay tuned!
If I have some hair in my lips, kind of like a mustache, but not yet a full mustache what should I do ? Shave it or let it grow ? I'm 21 and my beard always grows faster than my mustache... I also have the patchy style of beard but anyway, I just want my mustache to grow a little more so it can match the darkness of my beard.
Me too I have this problem
Runny egg yolk = a moustache's worst enemy.
Truly the worst nightmare for a mustache!
Very much so! Right in the corners...No!!!!! Haha.
Yogurt...
All true. Ice cream is proving challenging as well!
eating a big sandwhich...always chomping down on a mouthful of hair
1 month in beard and moustache = feeling like an itchy faced vagrant!
But boy am I seeing this through!
Love the vids mr b!
You should do one on cleansing of the facial hair.
1 month in can be really rough! But don't worry you're going to like what you're about to see :)
My moustache is just getting to the point where it can get in my mouth and I'm always waking up with it caught between my teeth. Its very annoying!
But I will heed your advice and persevere with it!
You should toates do a video on coloration of beard and mustache hair so I actually have some input on the random patches of blonde to light brown and black! thanks love the beard and the videos!
To get past the "awkward stage" could you start waxing the hairs out to the sides, that way they're not covering your lips on the daily?
It's absolute bullshit that I can grow a full beard with no issues, but I can't grow a mustache what so ever.
same here bro
John Dembowski It's so frustrating
Extremely! Maybe it'll grow in once we are in our 30's

I'm the opposite, full thick stash/go-t, but my beard is well, think as hell on the sides. mind you tho, I'm 39 and only growing it for 2 months so far. It's the first time ever trying to grow a beard.
bryan smith sides took me 4 months to start looking ok the first time. 6 months to fill in and my beard looked really good. My best tip is don't trim, especially the top hair on your lower cheeks.
I used to have stubble, so I was used to shaving them.
But with a full beard it looks way better with a "natural" line. Those bumps under the cheeks grow really slow, and don't view them as stray hairs!
Yeah the chin didn't really fill in until 8 months...
How did it go by the way?
Great stuff! Thanks for for all the guidance. I've got heavy chin whiskers and a fairly decent mustache (just below the top lip and about 2" out from the corners of my mouth) but zip on the sides so any advice on promoting beard growth is appreciated.
You said not to cut the mustache, but what do you do when one side grows faster than the other side?
4 month growth currently: Beard length, from chin to the end of the strands, is 3" inches long. Mustache still looks like I haven't shaved in a week or 2. I just don't have the lip. :(
I'm officially joining the club. I really want to grow my facial hair out far as I can. I need all the help I can get
Dude I started mine about 3 months ago and omg it's annoying at this point of length.
