Nate Schultz, Madison WI

Nice stache, Nate! Wow, that is a great look. We here at Stacheforge at first thought Nate was costumed like Hunter S Thompson, but when we looked up pictures of Thompson we couldn't find one showing him with a stache. And what does that mean? It means that Nate looks even better than Hunter ever did! We especially dig the fake bald, which shows real dedication to achieving the desired look.

Movember

Although normally the editors at Stacheforge would never recommend the purposeful destruction of a mustache, it can be justified if two conditions are met:

1. A new mustache immediately grows in place of the old one
2. It's for a good cause

These conditions are both met in the case of Movember, a charity which raises money for prostate cancer research:

Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.

Stacheforge will summon the entirety of its enormous worldwide brand recognition to promote Movember, and we will post pictures of the growing little baby mustaches along the way. If you don't have a mustache today, prepare to grow one; if you already have one, prepare to recycle it. As always, make sure to submit your pictures!

Nicholas Keene, Madison WI

All mustaches cover lips. Some mustaches warm faces. A few mustaches win prizes. But only one mustache was the inspiration for Stacheforge, and here it is. This is The General, in one of his many forms. Sometimes he's longer, sometimes he's shorter, sometimes he casts a little shadow on the bottom lip, sometimes he doesn't.

But Stacheforge doesn't exist for The General, it exists to promote all mustaches in all of their wonderful variety. All mustaches are welcome in the Stacheforge gallery: dark mustaches, light mustaches; thick mustaches, thin mustaches; long mustaches, short mustaches; pencil mustaches, pushbroom mustaches, dictator mustaches, juvenile mustaches, even those little mustaches that are worn by the kinds of guys who go to dance clubs without being ironic.

This is Stacheforge, a meeting place for mustaches, a cove of safety and comfort for men with mustaches. Please, submit a picture of your mustache to submit@stacheforge.com!

Ian Anderson, Madison, WI

Nice stache, Ian! Not all mustaches are created equal, and not all men exhibit equal enthusiasm for their mustaches. Here at Stacheforge, our opinion is that all mustaches have a right to life, and each one should be loved by its father. Just because a mustache isn't the first one picked for dodgeball, or doesn't get straight-A's, doesn't mean it deserves any less respect or validation as a legitimate lip covering. Let's all hope that Ian looks so sad because the stubble on the rest of his face detracts from what could be a perfectly respectable stache.

"Ultimate Mustache Fighter" on Jimmy Fallon's show TONITE!

NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon stages another "Ultimate Mustache Fighter" installment with referee Dan Miragliotta keeping it legit. As folks may remember, Dr. Phil's mustache took on '80s John Oates' mustache in an epic bout that spun out of control when the legendary 'staches of Larry Bird and Julius Erving crashed the party! The next fight card promises to have lots of mayhem!

UPDATE: Watch the hilarious video over at Hulu.

Top 10 Mustache Products

Stacheforge is delighted to have found a list of ten excellent mustache-themed products. The products are varied, but the car stache is a very sweet item. Why is it so stupid looking, though? Why not a big, realistic, million-dollar mustache?

Scott Kempf, Germany

Nice stache, Scott! Notice how much more awesome Scott looks cooling off his coffee while wearing a smart-looking, tight-trimmed mustache! Some sideburns never hurt, but Scott knows that on Stacheforge, there are no beards allowed!
