Victorian Mustache
The Victorian mustache is facial hair's equivalent of a three-piece suit with a pocket watch—elaborate, dignified, and requiring more maintenance than a vintage Rolls-Royce. This magnificently sculpted creation features extended whiskers that curve upward in dramatic spirals, often reaching well beyond the face's natural boundaries. It's not just a mustache; it's a lifestyle choice that says 'I have both time and an excellent wax collection.'
