Did you shave your mustache to dive??

[domino22]

Shave it before every dive trip, plus when I do I am told I look younger.

I've tried shaving the top 1/8 inch with a non-electric razor (as in blade) but find it hard to get an exact shave without cutting off more hair each time. How do others shave -- with an electric trimmer?

I use the Final Touch Personal Hair Remover. No problem getting right up against the calomel (area between the nostrils).That area a blade can't get to. You see these pencil sized hair trimmers all over the place now for as little as $2.99. I now keep one along with a spare AAA battery in my save a dive kit.

Finishing Touch...MicroTrim... Simplique Several different ones on that page.

...and also for my new "word of the day" -- calomel.

I have a full beard. I trim the 'stache in an approximately 2mm wide line below my nose using the excellent trimming blade built into the Gillette Fusion razor . This rarely comes out perfect, but generally does the job. Between dive trips I let it grow back in.

Sometimes I get a little leakage, so I tend to smear a little silicone gel on the bottom edge of the mask below the nose.

Shave down about a 1/4", dive every week, but want to keep the stash and goatee, shave those of maybe once a year, last time because my 5 yr. olds friend asked if I was her grampa when we met.......MAN, that hurt.....

A person serious about his or her diving would do well to consider the Don Ameche look. Don NEVER had any water leak into his mask in all his years of diving. Plus with your hair lacquered back in place, you surface looking just as cool and debonair as when you geared up.

:bravo: :bravo:

I just inter-twine my nose hairs and mustache together, and my mask sits on top of the knot

I have dove with moustache and without...no problem. But with three days of stubble I got a leak.

I find that the magnum mask with no purge works well with mustached people
