You can't tie ladies to railroad tracks without one.

I have determined that Petruchio will have a proper mustache, but am having a time finding mustache wax. I'm not in the mood to pay $7 to ship a $0.99 tube of mustache wax over the internets, so I'm wondering if any of you gentlemen might have had call to grow a magnificent handlebar over the years, and could provide advice. Should I just use hair gel?

I say, "Fake it up!"

Fake 'stache and spirit gum, d00d. It'll look different every show!

Gluing a fake mustache on top of my real mustache would be painful.

The stuff on ladyticklers is at the bottom.

Anyhow, I read that this-one-guy-on-the-internet says beeswax and vaseline will work.

There are also fancier recipies that call for things like powdered gum arabic.

As a lady of refined sensibilities, i would advise against hair gel. But then, as a lady, i do not have any facial hair, so i don't have any personal experience.

I'm trying to get the cutie to grow a handlebar.So far, he is resisting my efforts.

Ear wax!

If I groom my mustache with earwax, will you and Loree promise to make up for all the kisses Mrs. Cwabs will refuse to bestow on me in the interim?

I have an aquaintence with a handlebar mustache, I shall shoot him an e-mail. He's an artist, he may have a website: Robert Wheeler.

Incedently, have you checked at places such as Ulta or Sally? Or ask your hair care professional.

But, I always thought handlebar mustaches were kept in place with bogies.
