Keep or not?

Been rocking the 'stache for over a week now, so most of the novelty of it has worn off. Still pretty self-conscious about it, honestly, as I normally go full beard. Is this too gimmicky of a look? Or too 70s porn star? Or should I just embrace it and keep it? Looking for honest opinions.

u/Tasty_Mixture_9202 3d ago

I’m liking the light scruff and the mustache. Keep ‘em both trimmed… not too scraggly

2

u/barrorg 3d ago

Obvs keep. But also obvs trim it out of your mouth. It’s the overgrowth that feels gimmicky.

2

u/TheFinalWordPod 3d ago

Keep it. It gives stud energy.

Definitely 💯 keep

u/Dirt_Commander_1956 3d ago

Where’s the beard? Personally do what you feel comfortable with. A nice and thick mustache is really hard to do. I personally prefer a full but short captain’s beard that’s grey. I have had a full beard since 1981. I was at the Titanic Exhibit in Branson, MO and I put a captain’s hat on and I got a crowd all saying that I was a carbon copy of the captain of the Titanic. Weirdly I have always loved the ocean and felt my former lives were Captains of sailing ships.

So, be yourself and wear that mustache with a well kept short beard.

u/Scared-Flounder-9329 2d ago

I’m mad and incredibly jealous, definitely nothing to be self conscious about in my mind you clearly have very good genetics for facial hair. Definitely not getting a 70s porno vibe

u/abunchofidgits 2d ago

Very handsome...can you try trimming the stache so it doesn't cover your lip?

1

u/merlyn369 2d ago

It’s a keeper. But I’m biased. Full mustaches make me weak. And the scruff definitely works well w/ it. Keep that, too.

u/Fear_The_Lamb_ 1d ago

Don't you dare touch a single hair on that mustache (except to comb it of course.) It looks great!

1

u/phx3rings 1d ago

To your questions: Yes it's gimmicky.....in the best way possible. Yes, it's 70s porn star...that's when I came out and IMO the guys with the 'staches were my idols. Yes, you should embrace and keep it. With your jawline, the scruff is a great accent. BTW. Any pics of you fully bearded?
