Toss the razors, it's grow time...

Some of you out there may be saying to yourself, “I want to be a man, but I don’t know how!” Worry not my mustache mate, thanks to the world wide web I have provided explicit instructions on how to become a man…

(Actual article from eHow.com)

How to Grow a Mustache

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step 1:
Keep the shaver away from the area between the nose and upper lip. Although some say if you shave more, the hair on your face becomes thicker, this is not always true.

Step 2:
Let the hair grow and shave around the area. Facial hair appears first at the corners of the upper lips. Then it covers the entire upper lip.

Step 3:
Decide what type of mustache looks best on you. Mustaches work with the size of the man's face. Smaller faces need small mustaches. More striking, larger faces need larger or more prominent design. Ask your girlfriend or sister, perhaps even your dad or mom, about what design to display under your nose.

Step 4:
Tend to your mustache daily. Keep it trimmed and combed as it grows out and gets thick.

April 1st, 2008 will mark your own personal journey into manhood. This journey will open your eyes to a world of upper lip warmth that few have the sweet pleasure to partake of. Society will tell you your mustache is repulsive, loved ones will turn their head in humiliation, but you…you will be a part of something bigger than yourself. You will be a part of 2008 Cinco de Mustache. It’s time to take a “before” picture, because growing season starts today…

Let the Growing Season Begin!


Some call it a Holiday, some call it an awakening, I call it a movement. A movement to bring the lost art of the mustache, back to its glory. I speak of the hallowed Cinco de Mustache. I did not create this movement, I simply got on a fast moving man train.

The pioneers of our movement; Tom Selleck, Cliff Claven, The Village People, Yosemite Sam. They have called and demanded our respect. Therefore in an effort to sanctify all that have paved the way, we grow...

The rules are simple:

1. Growing season begins April 1st.
2. Your face is your canvas; you do with it what you wish. Whether it be a beard, a goatee or the pure mustache. You grow until May 5, Cinco de Mustache.
3. On Cinco de Mustache, for the entire day, you must wear some form of mustache: the Handlebar, the Molester, the Moustachio (affectionately known as the Selleck), the Pornstache, the Walrus. It is your lip undergrowth, you decide. But for one day, May 5, you wear a mustache.
4. Take a before and after picture, to mark your momentous transformation into manliness.

It is that simple. Join the movement. Join the last beacon of pure masculinity. It’s time to shed the shackles of the naked upper lip and tell the world “I am Man”. Put on your magnificent lip warmer friend, and join Cinco de Mustache!
