Moustache Love.

mackle, to think that two years ago, before I ever decided to enter Moustache May, I had no moustache at all! It was a long history of boring moderately trimmed full beards, or half-hearted bohemian chin beards, or buzzing down to a sad non-commital scruff.
Now, having experienced the transcendent qualities of handlebar ownership, I want to continue on into a future with potentially impeccable moustache grooming. My moustache can be unruly, scattered, willful. I want to give it tough love with Brother's Love Moustache Wax, which you, Mackle, can provide. My moustache can then live on proudly, beyond its birth years of Moustache May, and into a bright future!

Chalkdog says:: @moustacheofdeath, HA HA, I thought you were saying you "question" this photo! I was trying to figure out what you meant by that! Oh, and thanks.

Senator Johnson says:: I'm in the same boat. Toyed with the stache off and on for a couple of years (as a compromise with a former stache-hating fiancee). When she left me, I grew it out longer and stronger than ever before. My upper lip has not known a razor's touch since Halloween '09. I'm generally Team GingerBeard year round, but the stache is always present! It's practically family!

ThatGuy says:: With absolutely no disrespect to any other campaign, I have to say that I like this one the best so far. The site has created a true full-time moustache man out of what was admittedly a non-committed facial hair searcher. mackle if we get to vote, I'd like to place a supporting vote for chalkdog. Or in other words:

I'm ThatGuy and I support this message.

Mackle says:: I love that this skirts the line between heartwarming and sort of creepy. I'd say it embodies Moustache May as best as I could have hoped for.

If anyone is deserving of some Brother's Love wax, it is you my friend.

Chalkdog says:: Hah, thanks Mackle. "Heartwarming and sort of creepy" is the kind of experience Moustache May brings, that's for sure. It's undoubtedly what brought me back for a second year.

Dannz says:: I like what you wrote. Handlebar sure is a changing life style of moustache. I hope I feel the same thing some months from now. Great pic, hope you get the wax !
