Cowboy Dan

     Welcome to my blog. I am Moustache McGowan and I intend on taking you on an amazing journey through the underexplored realm of facial hair and all of its truely exciting possibilities. I hope you enjoy the blog enough to return from time to time to experience whats new and old in facial hair offerings.
     This is my first post and I intend on documenting the entire process of creating each individual facial artwork from now on, but because this particular configuration already exists on my face, I wanted to share it with you all. Im calling this the "Cowboy Dan." Not only because I look dashing in western wear, but because I mostly picture this moustache on middle-aged white males driving overly-used mid 1980's chevy pickup trucks across a dusty ranch road or somewhere in the back woods where city folk imagine cowboys live.
     I started by growing out a full beard untill the length was enough that facial design would turn out prominent enough for a really manly exposition. It took me about one month, but don't feel bad if it takes you a bit longer. What is important is that you enjoy the process of making beautiful man art on your face for all the world to see. After my beard was of appropriate length, I began by using an electric razor and trimming the areas of my face that I knew would not be a part of the final product. After most of the scraps had been trimmed down, I took to a standard razor to trim up the areas that I felt needed to go. Once this was complete, I threw on some western wear I had in my closet and hit the town. You would be amazed at the positive feedback I have recieved about this facial art so far.
     Just to add a few suggestions when planning your own facial hair bonanza. Have some inspiration in mind. Its O.K. to use something that you might have seen in a photo or out on the street and try to recreate it. As you become better versed in the capabilities of your razor and your face, better creations will come to mind. It's important to keep trying new things and not just give up and clean shave altogether. Remember, there are no such things as mistakes, only happy accidents. My personal inspiration for this piece was Val Kilmer's role in the movie "Tombstone." Obviously I have added my own flair to the final product, but this is a great example of how to be creative with your own works. Don't let the man keep you down and keep rocking that facial hair. Its a lost art we should strive to keep alive. Until next time, this is Moustache McGowan signing off.
