10 Historic Mustache Must-haves

In a continuation of our weekly facial hair inspiration (check out last week’s list of Civil War mustached men), we recognize that the “Movember” challenge isn’t easy. Growing an impressive beard or mustache, even for a good cause, can be a struggle. Let us help!

This week: A collection of historic mustache must-haves.

	A “mustache-guard” best used “with drinking-cups or goblets, tumblers, and other drinking-vessels.”
	A support group: The “Mustache Club,” 1893.
	A little synthetic help (like this woman wearing a fake ‘stache in a skit).
	A Japanese “mustache-lifter” from the 1920s.
	Or this stick, which Japanese men used to raise their mustaches while   drinking wine.
	A little bit of dye, to keep your mustache a “natural brown or black,” as this advertisement promises.
	A steady reflection.
	A sense of humor (or not, if you aren’t a fan of clowns).
	A nice ride, for regular trips to the barber.
	A theme song.
