Watching the thread on Sam Elliot got me thinking about my upper lip hair - spelled moustache or mustache. I started mine in 1968 and cut it off once in boot camp. I grew it back in March of 1969 when I got out of Boot Camp.

Since then, I have never removed it or even trimmed it. Near as I can tell, that's about 53 years. Only 2 people I know have seen me without it. My younger brother and a guy that played bass in a rock band in high school. My wife of 47 years has never seen me without it.

How about you?

Since 1996. I shaved it off once, but immediately let it grow back.

Haven't trimmed it since 1969? Fu Manchu?

Always been clean shaven, never any interest in acquiring facial hair.

Although I do recall that one time, a chick I was hitting on in a bar told me she thought I'd look good in a moustache. Stupid me, I didn't pick up on what she was hinting at, and she went home with some other guy.

Beard & mustache; about 3 months this time. My facial hair comes and goes on a whim.
Less red and more white these days. But then again, I was in my 40s before I could grow facial hair w/o looking like I had the mange.

I started mine back about 1971. First son was born, and I had it when we went to visit parents so they could see their first grandson. He'll be 51 in July so I had it before that.

1975 +/- (wasn't much then though, but never shaved off since).

Since about 1971 or 1972.

1974/5

1971

Had a few, never stuck with them too long, always wanted a fu, maybe time to do that...

How long have your had your moustache?

About 3/4"

Stickman’s puzzled look as he ponders whether the question pertains to duration or length of his most excellent mustache.

TTIWWOP!

I use to buy beer when I was 18 so none of my friends would let me shave it off, my brother had one as well, but he shaved his off thought he looked terrible, so I kept mine going. 43 years

Only shaved it off once since 1979 for a couple weeks. During the movie Tombstone, my wife leaned over and said to grow my mustache back.

Nixon was new president then.

Currently, 23 years. I keep it trimmed.

fifty years

Had one since I was 18 so 44 years.

The only time I've not had one is during boot camp.

Haven't shaved the rest of my face since the day I ETSed.
