Thoughts on the Toothbrush Moustache?

Postby Italian Union of Controlled States » Mon Feb 06, 2023 3:47 pm

In my opinion the toothbrush moustache shouldn't be hated.
it was worn by many people before (you know who)
like Charlie Chaplin, who said he thought it gave him a comical appearance, and others who include, but are not limited to: Several Israeli politicians and Fred Trump

There's no accounting for taste.

Did gyre and gambol in the wabe.

And the mome raths outgrabe.

It's kind of ridiculous looking. I'm split between saying it being taboo post-Hitler is a good thing, or whether its association with Nazism has ruined the fun in what could have been a light-hearted and silly historical fashion relic.

If it was just Chaplin etc I probably would have done one as a goof. But, I'm white and bald and just my 'wannabe Sons of Anarchy extra' goatee already makes me look racist as fuck, no need to step on that accelerator.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I dunno, it doesn't look that good as a normal facial hair style. I don't think it looked that great on the Austrian painter and I don't think it'd look that great on me, or you, either.

Looks rather outdated?

I guess that's all I can think of about that moustache style.

I’m physically unable to grow one because I have a gap when my facial hair grows out…looks a little silly though when setting the historical baggage aside.

Even if Hitler never existed, the toothbrush moustache would have faded into obscurity all the same just like mutton chops. People wearing it today would not be suspected of being nazis but they would be mocked as hipsters.

If anything, I'd rather see more of the exact opposite, the Fu Manchu. On the right face with the right facial hair texture and the right length, it could conceivably be sexy.

It will go the way of the Norman Haircut. Fading into obscurity, only to be brought back by hipsters a thousand years from now.

As for the toothbrush moustache...it lacks the flair to continue into modern day and should be left to its era

To me there is something deeply suspect about the character of any man who puts that much effort into a moustache,
