My mustache hairs point down and look sloppy when I try to go full handlebar, what’s the best way to tame it? Like should I brush it and blow dry after showering? Or something else?

    One thing a lot of mustache owners do is trim above your lip. Don’t do that. Brush sideways, and the whiskers in the middle will push the sides outwards. Once everything is trained to grow sideways, you can start trimming above your lip again, but it will be longer and at an angle. You can also trim any stray scraggly hairs, but the less you trim the better.

      I tried doing that, but they kept getting in my mouth and it drove me nuts. I just cut along the top of the lip now.

        Yeah, there’s an awkward length where it’s long enough to curl into your mouth, but too short to comb out of the way. You just kind of have to get used to having hair in your mouth.

        I like scissors for my mustache, only because I find myself usually going after whiskers one at a time. But the electric razor is good for getting straight lines.
