40 illustrated tutorials and step-by-step instructions for growing and shaping the perfect mustache and beard

“Without a mustache a man is not properly dressed” – Salvador Dalí

You spend your adolescence looking hopefully in the mirror, confident that you will finally spot, in the space between your nostrils and upper lip, that hint of hair that can transform a childlike face into that of a man. A man with a mustache. Yes because, since the dawn of time, the mustache has been an unparalleled symbol of virility: it is just a matter of caring for it, educating it and enhancing it as it deserves. From D’Artagnan to James Franco, from the porn stars of the 1970s to the hipsters who now crowd city streets riding their fixed-gear bicycles, the ways of the mustache are officially endless. But never fear: with this wry and irreverent handbook, cultivating creative mustaches becomes a mission within everyone’s reach. Forty detailed illustrated tutorials explain how to make Hollywood star mustaches, artistic Dali mustaches, as well as philosopher’s beards and badass sideburns. An indispensable guide for the man who never has to ask. And even if he does ask, he still does it in style.
