The Polish Moustache

More popular in days gone by I presume.

Been overtaken by more modern shapes in facial hair - the Polish moustache (that's mustache for those of you with different spelling) - how does it compare with the German moustache or the French moustache? Do some Poles now grow goatees to try to satisfy their moustache-growing urges?

I did notice a dodgy thin tache on a bloke in a Disco Polo music video (you've caught me out - I've almost admitted to liking it!) It was one of those ghost-moustaches - early days of facial hair experimentation but with blond hair, so... Is it there? Is it not there? Is it just a small rodent that's about to scurry away at the end of the scene.

If you're Polish, do you have or did you ever have a moustache?

Next topic: The mullet! (I'll save that for a rainy day).

are you thinking about growing moustache, donkey?

For some reason I get blonde strands of hair in my beard and moustache..

I have grown a goatee, but only for the winter. I don't really like it.

I do sometimes try to imagine clean-shaven people with moustaches, sometimes with retro hairstyles as well. Only about three of the Poles I've worked with had moustaches, but I bet many more had had moustaches in the past.

How about the Greek mustache? I had one of those back in the day.

I keep seeing maluchs with moustaches driving them.

every Texan got a goatee (well, every guy... ;)).... blah... boring....

what about women with a moustache?

Maluchs with moustaches, LOL. Was that your last acid trip? ;)

I have come across this feature many times in Greece and Turkey... Quite attractive I must add!

how is it to shave you facial hair along with your gf?
;)

Seriously, I see them all the time, yeah sure there is a man behind that thing somewhere but like one of those long haired dogs, i don't know how they see through them.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Rumour has it that they wake up an hour before everyone else, just to wax it and give it volume ;)

I have to take a photo of what i am talking about.
I took a load of photos last night in Krakow but I still have not got the hang of my camera yet.
They all came out grainy.

What kind of moustache are we talking about?
Austro-Hungarian Empire type:
1st picture - Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria;
2nd picture, Heiner Brand, coach of the german handball team;
3rd picture - man on the left, Diego Mosna - chairman of the Italian volleyball league, he's from a germanized Italian South Tyrol)
or the other type:
3rd picture, man on the right, with a name tag Johnny Popi (from Modena, also Italy);
4th picture - Adam Małysz of Poland.
The second type is more popular in Poland.

I have had it most of my life. For the last 10 years with a Spanish beard.

Look:

Unsuprisingly, the Adam Małysz is the closest to what I was thinking of, only he has the bit just above the chin that kind of detracts from the purity of moustacheness. I wasn't thinking of some elaborate handlebar type creation, just an "I can be bothered to shave most of my face, but the bit under the nose can stay"-type tache.

So far, if there was an all-PF moustache competition, it is hard to imagine anyone beating Pawian!

Nein, nein, der ist a misconsep! Das ist no me, das ist mein loveling fater.

Me ist hiere, I has schort mustasch:

That is rather szort.

It's hard to top Artur Jorge, former footie coach of the Swiss national team.

Google Images him, not for length but for his brush style

Mustaches should be banned.

Moustaches used to be quite common in Poland, now i see less and less people growing a moustache. But my uncle there has got one, you can ask Seanus ;)

BEARDS AND MOUSTACHES OF POLISH MEN?

What is the "in" look for men in Poland at present:
-- clean shaven
-- five-day shadow
-- moustache
-- only beard
-- moustache & beard?
What do the ladies on the PF think of this and what is their preference?
How about hair: regular, long or shavwed-skull?

Men AND women all got 5 o clock shadow round here!
But I'm told the men shave their armpits! Actually, it's not just a rumour....I have SEEN a shaven male arm pit! Ewwww!
