Weelllllll......I've known a few *ladies* who could give you guys some competition!

We don't generally have 'staches.....just stray eyebrows!:eek:
 
That allowed his nose hairs to grow out and he combed them right into his hugely bushy moustache.....

Talk about a lead hazard....

Oops...better add another poll option: Nose hair moustache will not allow trimming below nose....

:D :D :D
 
I have a mustache that I ain't trimmin' for nobody, and I have found a few masks such as the Tusa's and scubapro's that don't leak much and some others like the Mare's and Hawaiian's that leak a lot!
 
Thanks to NetDoc for adding the catagory, just plain forgot. (again)

Trimming a small bit under the old honker, and trying about a dozen different masks, lead me to a few that worked quite well. I still get a tiny amount of leaking, usually when I turn my head and strain to see somthing. However, just as a few of you have found, I also see this as a benifit to keeping a clear lens in colder water.

Yes, my first Tusa mask was perfect, the Pano Geo I believe. When that mask broke I picked up a different Tusa, a Platina, which doesn't work as well, but with a good below the nose trimming it works out ok [leaks some]. I actually tried on a Beuchaut at Beneath the Sea, and I got such a wonderful seal that I have to find one!
 
But the company I work for won't allow anybody to have any facial hair at all. I used to have one for years before. Oh well, small price to pay.



Later, Hawk.
 
I got rid of mine 'cause I got sick and tired of it leaking all the time. Now if I can just stop smiling so much... :D The only women I've ever met with this problem were ex East German water polo players:eek: hehehe...
