Image Source Sportscenter 5 Overtime Blog   Mustache Style: Fu Manchu Football punter Scott Player rotated throughout the NFL for 10 years, and even played for the Canadian Football League and in NFL Europa. He is currently a free agent and is part of the New England Patriots offseason and practice squad only. Despite this, his mustache is still badass. His blonde Fu Manchu style mustache has followed him throughout his career, and in fact is highly visible during play through his 1-bar facemask. The NFL restricted 1-bar facemasks in 2004, but because he’s been in the league for so long, the 38-year-old’s helmet ... Read Full Story

Today's post is due, in part, to an e-mail that I received from a MyFashionCents.com reader. She wanted to know how to get her husband to trim his 'stache,' so that he didn't look so goofy wearing it. One thing is for certain, wearing a mustache takes a talented individual, one that isn't afraid to try out a little facial hair every now and then. At the 66th annual Golden Globes, there was a surprising trend that nearly every attendee seemed to be sporting -- the mustache. From Sting to Darren Aronofsky (Director of The Wrestler ), even Mickey Rourke, everyone seemed to be ... Read Full Story

The mustache is the beard’s bastard cousin, and in my opinion it is one of the most unfortunate forms of facial hair ever. To create one, a man (or burly woman) must grow out the hair on the upper lip while keeping the rest of the face tidy. Mustaches are still popular in the US among police officers. I wonder if that is why we call them “the fuzz”? But, there is not just one type of mustache. There’s the prepubescent natural mustache, the bushy Hungarian mustache, the narrow English mustache, the curling imperial mustache, the surreal Dali mustache, as well as a ton ... Read Full Story

Shaving with stone razors was technologically possible from Neolithic times but the oldest portrait showing a shaved man with a mustache is a Scythian horseman from 300 BC.

In more modern history, moustaches have been worn by military men. The number of nations, regiments and ranks were equalled only by the number of styles and variations. Generally, the younger men and lower ranks wore the smaller and less elaborate moustaches. As a man advanced in rank, his moustache would become thicker and bushier, until he was permitted to wear a full beard.

In Western cultures women generally avoid the growth of facial hair; though many are capable, the majority of these women would use some form of depilation to remove it. However there are some women who choose to embrace this growth, often in the form of thin moustaches. The artist Frida Kahlo famously depicted herself with both a moustache and a unibrow. This tradition is followed by some contemporary women in the arts.[2][3][4]

An English moustache was formerly used in melodramas, movies and comic books as a shorthand indication of villainy. Snidely Whiplash, for example, was characterized by his moustache and his cape.

Mustaches have the odd ability to be botha wesome and ridiculous at the same time. Some guys should never attempt one, but other guys just seem to own them. Here are a few famous mustaches that will live on forever:

Tom Selleck
Actor Tom Selleck is pretty much the king of the mustache. It's almost impossible to imaging him without one.


Hulk Hogan
Former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan pretty much owns the mustache, as far as professional wrestlers go. It's something to be both feared and admired.

Burt Reynolds
When making a list of mustaches you can't leave out actor Burt Reynolds' historic stache.

Robert Goulet
Robert Goulet was just creepy looking, and his mustache didn't really help. Still, he owned it, and it became a part of him. You can't think of him without thinking about the stache.


Geraldo Rivera
Geraldo Rivera is just weird.


Ron Jeremy
Oddly enough, Ron Jeremy is pretty much the inventor of the porn stache, although you wouldn't be able to tell if you looked at him now.

Chuck Norris
Don't like Chuck Norris' signature mustache? Well, that's too bad. Don't let him know though, he might give you a swift round house kick to the face!
