The beard and mustache


Stacey and I are attending a Steampunk event in the spring. Along with preparing our wardrobe, I've decided to grow out my beard and mustache. I've always had a full beard, but usually have it clipped short each time I visit the barber. 

I knew with the longer hair I'd need some help controlling the beast. If there's one thing the Miller family is good at, it's growing hair. 

checked a few websites and asked a good friend of mine with a handlebar mustache for advice. I decided to use Firehouse Mustache Wax

Not knowing how much hold I would need I started with their "Light" style. It proved to be unable to control my gray bristles. However, the "Tacky" was up to the task. 


I usually keep my hair short but with the full beard my barber suggested I keep it longer. I find that my longer greying hair requires conditioner too. I thought about beard balm or oil but decided to start with some inexpensive hair conditioner. 

The 'stach and beard are coming along. Not sure how long I'll let it grow.
