Mustache wax

[Sam Cobra]

Do you pards that sport big mustaches use wax or something to get the handlebar ends etc?  If so what brand or kind do you use?

[St. George]

Pinaud.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

50 years ago I sported "Poirot" type moustaches.  I used Pinaud

My Good Herr Cobra -
Back in the prior millenium When I was fiddly enough to try these things ( I also toyed with shaving with a straight razor)  I attempted to emulate Hercule Poirot like Sir Charles.

At that time, before the dot-com bust, we still had numerous indepemndamnit independant corner drug stores so I toured them religously looking for varied and different mustach concoctions. I tried most of them and finally settled on two things:
- common food-grade beeswax and Chapstick.

Of course my pitiful mustachio  looked more like a wet caterpillar crawled onto my lip  than a good handlebar or a complete walrus as sported by some of my betters here at CAS City, so my views on wax should be taken with a pound of salt with that in mind

         Pinaud or Clubman.

Chapstick or similar.
Cheaper, widely available, has multiple uses.

Never thought about chapstick  I bought some Clubmans and messed around a bit with it.

The wife definitely hates it

I have course facial hair anyway and usually wear a goatee and keep it trimmed pretty close but I let the mustache get a little long and curled the ends ala Doc Holliday in Tombstone.

Apparently she thinks I look more like Snidley Whiplash than Val Kilmer

Murray's is what I use. It smells good (important if you are going to put it right under your nose) and works good. Amazon has it for about $2.25 and they have it in black (for those of us that have some "silver" in our mustaches) for under @2.00 .

One thing I noticed when I used moustache wax, was that I 'felt' the weight of the thing, and it drove me crazy.

It's why I wore a 'Guardsman' style for a couple of decades, because all I had to do to it was keep it neatly trimmed across the lip line, and check for the odd wild hair.

As I aged - two things happened.

The hair got coarser (like copper wire), and needed more tending-to - so I re-taught myself to shave my upper lip.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

PS - I knew a guy who used the wax from the wax replacement seal for a toilet bowl...

I hope it was new!

I occasionally use clubman. Either clear or brown colored. Works for my needs.

Firehouse Mustache Wax.

Google them and check their website.  You will see pictures that include several CAS shooters.

When neded: Pure beeswax and Vaseline, combined approx 50/50 in a double boiler. Cools to a nice soft cake.

Doubles as a reasonable bullet lube as well -- just increase the vaseline proportion somewhat.

Back in the 50s, the golden age of the flattop haircut, there was stuff called Butch Wax to make your hair stand up straight. Later on, around '71, I grew a fashionable handlebar and that's what I used. Don't know if it even exists now. It was pink and smelled sort of like Chapstick. Hell, maybe that's what it really was, but it came in a jar instead of stick form.

[Jamestown John]

I tried mustache wax; not too pleased with results.
When I eventually ran out, I couldn't find any more. Went to Walgreens drug store one day with
The wife and looked high and low and only found this stuff for spiked hair styling.
Darn if it didn't work great. It's made by Schwarzkopf and is called:
"Got2b"
"Glued"

"Styling
SPIKING GLUE
[water-resistant]"

Interesting stuff and it works on the old "stache!"
