Movember Aftermath: Jason Soza, Juneau, Alaska

Nice stache, Jason! A good brown mustache is the perfect finishing touch for this outfit. Notice how the blue hat band goes with the sharp blue shirt, the sharp blue shirt brings out the blue in the jacket, the blue in the jacket is woven into the brown of the jacket, and the brown of the jacket matches the rich color of that deep, brunette lipfur. Stacheforge also fully supports the 'tickler' under the bottom lip, which is not a beard, and thus does not disqualify Jason from being on Stacheforge. The sideburns, finally, are exactly the right length to complete the overall look. Just imagine this photograph without Jason's mouthwarmer -- what a shame that would be!

Movember Aftermath: The Generalissimo

This stringy, pathetic excuse for a mustache is the month-long growth effort by Stacheforge editor Nicholas Keene. Typically, pictures posted to Stacheforge come with a complimentary description and genuine encouragement, but in this case none of that is deserved. This disgusting mustache is a disgrace, a sad shadow of the former glory of The General. Grown as a kind of joke, and a kind of experiment, the result would have to be described as an unfunny joke, or a failed experiment, like homeopathy or reflexology. Nicholas reportedly is in three-party negotiations with his wife and his upper lip as to what variety of mustache will appear next, but Stacheforge readers can all rest easy knowing the next mustache won't look anything like this.
