Moustache Monday: Prosthetic Moustaches In Wool
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Professor NifNak “has harnessed the forces of SCIENCE and ART to create the world’s first completely realistic prosthetic mustachio!” These moustaches are made from 100% Merino Wool, and fasten to the wearer’s nasal septum with magnetic clips. They come in an array of styles from that old mainstay, “The Handlebar”, to the impressively pendulous “Zeppelin” which almost requires a top hat.

“…and fasten to the wearer’s nasal septum with magnetic clips.”
These are pretty cool, but that doesn’t sound like a lot of fun.

I think that only chicks should be allowed to wear these. If a man is over 18 and can’t grow a proper mustache he is NOT A MAN! Unless, he has cancer…or is a Native American or Eskimo…I’m not even a mammal and I can grow a nice ’stache…and that is biologically impossible!

@Mike (1st comment):
Speaking as an owner of several of Nifer’s moustachios, I’m happy to assure you that the fastening system is actually quite comfortable.
The magnets are very small, and rubber-coated to keep them smooth and hygenic. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the correct way to wear them, they just ‘pop’ in and out with ease, and - on most noses - can be comfortably worn for hours.
It’s also worth mentioning that the magnets, while strong, don’t really “pinch” the septum at all, given their distance from one another. Rather they simply tend to stay gently in proximity to one another, allowing the moustachio to hang in place. Depending upon one’s personal nasal anatomy, many people even find that they can make their moustachio move, expressively cocking to one side or the other, without fear of embarrassing de-moustachification.
A superlative facial adornment, and Highly recommended!

That’s good to hear.

Now we just need magnetic sideburns. Prosthetic muttonchops for all!
