Like all things of grand and timeless scale, facial hair is marked by contrasts. It can make a man a real man; yet destroy a woman. It can make one seem rugged, yet unworthy of trust. Two of its more famous styles are French in origin - the moustache and the goutee - yet the French eschew it.
For your consideration, an example of bad facial hair...
This lengthy moustache presents both barriers to basic necessities like eating foods, and the sweeter things in life - like being active socially or having friends. The thought of this man eating soup turns my stomache. I shudder to think that this could be a larger social trend of that historical period because it would throw my whole love of humanity - or, at least, mid-19th century humanity - into question.
If you're going to grow a moustache, do it right ...
