I Just Pulled My Mustache Out Of My Face

t3sser4ct · 04-03-2010, 06:37 PM

No matter how close I shave, and no matter what kind of razor I use, I always have stubble above my lip. It's probably because the hair is thick and dark enough to be seen even when it's just barely sticking out of the skin, but whatever the reason, I hate it. Most facial hair is awesome, but mustaches are horrible and nasty in most cases, and seeing a permanent strip of man-fuzz on my face every time I try to admire my own awesomeness in a mirror makes me want to punch a college hipster. More than usual.

So instead of engaging in the regular futile practice of shaving my upper lip this morning, I decided to take a different approach. I grabbed the nearest pair of pliers and pulled each and every hair straight out. Roots and all. It took a few hours, and I lost a surprising amount of blood, but my upper lip now looks like that of a pre-pubescent Swedish boy with herpes.

I put some ice on it, and the swelling is almost gone now. It's still red, and there are some rough spots where I pulled like five at once, but I expect it to be all healed within a couple of days. There were maybe a dozen hairs that were too short to grab with the pliers, so I'll have to wait until they're long enough. I'll probably get them tomorrow morning.

I wish I had thought about it long enough to take before and after photos. Maybe next time. I hope it takes a long time to grow back.

If it's any consellation, i did the exact same thing with my pubes. I used the three P's to help of course;

Pliers
Patience
and Paper towels

LETS GO TEAM NO HAIR!

Because I'm too manly for such feminine methods.

Also, I didn't think of that.

We know what the heavy metal lifestyle's all about.

I'm not sure I believe that this actually happened, but if it did....It's probably the most metal thing I've ever heard in my life.

BigPhi84 · 04-03-2010, 07:57 PM

Laser hair removal. It is girly but sounds masculine as hell.

. "Dude, frickin' laser beams..." Plus, it's permanent.

signalgrey · 04-03-2010, 08:05 PM

i used a hammer.

Shaving your face with a pair of pliers is quite possibly the most metal thing I have ever heard.

There are better ways of getting this done, such as an open flame. Fire is the antimatter of hair.

This, you should make a CC style song documenting the event OP

Andii · 04-04-2010, 05:48 AM

On a serious note I think you're seriously crazy for doing that.

A solution you should consider is shaving against the grain(towards your nose) with shaving cream with a 4 or 5 blade razor. Doing that chops off the hairs even beneath the skin.

If you tried that and it didn't work I demand pics of your metallic invincibeard so I can bask in the glorious splendour of the immortal follicles.

thesimo · 04-04-2010, 07:53 AM

being fair haired ftw

lets hope you didn't just pull out just half of the actual roots and it grows back but with a big bald patch in the middle somewhere (yes that can happen)

vampiregenocide · 04-04-2010, 09:21 AM

If you really hate having a beard, put some Nair on that ....er.

Whoa whoa whoa... Let's clear this up right now. I have a chin beard, and it is awesome. I have some nifty sideburns too. The mustache is the only thing I don't want.

Beards are amazing. Mustaches are horrible and nasty.

It's possible, but I'm pretty sure I got at least 90% of the roots. If not, I can yank the bastards out again.

Not a fan of the Tom Savini moustache, eh?
