Edwardian Mustache
The Edwardian mustache is the aristocrat of facial hair - wide, waxed, and wonderfully over-the-top. Popular during King Edward VII's reign (1901-1910), this style extends well beyond the mouth corners with dramatically upturned ends that defy both gravity and modern sensibilities.
