Jess McCarter, San Francisco, CA

Nice stache, Jess! Much like the finest marble statues emerge from rough stone slabs, this fine mustache emerged from the ugly full-face beard which immediately proceeded it. This mustache lived a sadly short but glorious life of one day, on Halloween 2011, when Mr. McCarter shaved his beard into this lip sweater as part of a halloween costume, where he dressed as Humbert Humbert. Yes, that Humbert Humbert.

After his friends associated that mustache with that character, he felt as though he could not keep it. He made the shameful decision to shave of that beaut, but he reports that "my lady friends were highly disappointed that I didn't rock it for a whole week". Many times, after ladies enjoy a mustache for a week, suddenly they decide they love it and want to see it grown out for a month. It's a slippery slope for the ladies, one which ends in a world full of sweet, sweet lip whiskers.

Jess is the co-founder of Easy Creole catering company in San Francisco, California. Anyone who is nearby can find them serving at locations around the city, and everyone else can follow them on Twitter. Easy Creole serves the best creole food in the city, bar none. No word whether the other co-founder has a mustache.

At Stacheforge, there are no beards allowed. Jess was nervous about that rule when he submitted the second picture of him sitting in his vintage Austin Mini, but the stubby pricklers showing on his face in this picture hardly constitute a beard. If anything the face seen in this second picture is a face which cries out for a mustache.

  1. Indeed, my business partner Grant has a moustache these days, a very fine handlebar sort of a deal.
