Jerry Begel, Oak Park, Michigan

Nice stache, Jerry! Nice stache, Marshall! Today Stacheforge is honored to feature its first father-and-son mustache team. Marshall says that it was his father's idea to shave down to matching pencil mustaches. Readers will remember the first time we featured Marshall, he sported a bell-bottom trucker stache as shown in the "before" picture, and the look on his face suggests he was apprehensive about giving it up. That is understandable because mouthbrows can be hard to grow and hard to make look good. Luckily, the look on his face in the 'after' picture suggests he was happy with the change and nobody can deny that the Begel boys have what it takes to rock this under-appreciated mustache style.

We here at Stacheforge approve of the pact, no matter how it was conceived, because it caused Jerry's beard to turn into Jerry's mustache. Sure, his beard was okay for a beard, but like the statue David emerging from a block of Michelangelo's marble, Jerry's awe-inspiring bright-white lipfrost emerged from the beard. Marshall's traded in a substantial facial drape for a much more refined and understated mouthliner, each of which have been meticulously sculpted and look great. Remember, the worth of a mustache is not counted in whiskers.

Jerry and Marshall join the ranks of other great men who have worn this distinctive style of facial hair, including John Waters, Vincent Price, Prince, Wayne Newton, and Sean Penn.
