August 18, 2010
I found myself with an empty tin of Oregon Wild Hair Mustache Wax. With 2+ inches of handlebar bilaterally, I can’t really do without it. Without wax I look more like a walrus than a man with a handle bar. I wax the mustache once a day. Every morning. It generally lasts the rest of the day unless I wash it out. Yesterday was the end of my supply. I knew that I had a shipment on the way as part of my sponsorship from OWHE. The problem was, it hadn’t come yet and all I had at home to groom the stache was a bottle of olive oil and a tube of cherry chapstick. Neither appealed to me. This morning, for the first and hopefully last time, I waxed with chapstick. It tasted and smelled horrible, didn’t hold together well and it made my coffee taste like a candle.
By late morning my package from Mark & Susan, owners of OWHE had arrived. In it, enough moustache wax to last a year. They also included two wonderful coffee mug/Beer mugs. Thursday, August 18, 2010 was a great day in Portland, Maine.
