Sometimes I wonder just how sick I am... really. Years ago, when Gangs of New York came out, I felt my heart flutter for a certain greasy, one-eyed, handle-barred, limping, Daniel Day Lewis. It was strange, because in all the other movies he was in, I thought he was very attractive, but more so as the gang leader. Strange.Usually I hate facial hair on guys, well, soul-patches, goatees, chops, all kind of gross me out. But lately, I've been fond of mustaches. Not the John Waters type, (although Steve Busecmi can pull it off) but a substantial one. I may not let a mustache come within a 3 foot radius of my person, but visually, I approve.
This week, on art website: Fecal Face, they posted a mustache contest of three guys from a party... I guess under the influence bet who can grow the best mustache in three months. The winner received a banjo purchased by the losers.
...maybe i was born with this nascent mustache hiding under my upper lip and i just had to wait for the right time to grow it out and twirl it between my fingers. maybe. over the past three months i've been called the following: weirdo, creep, molester, incredibly handsome, learning disabled, and snidely whiplash. not all of these names were in reference to the mustache.... ~ Andreas Trolf, mustache contestant
Personally, I like them better with the mustaches, and the hats, and the nicer clothes, playing whatever game it is they are playing (bocce ball?), they look more civilized.

Stashes are a very compositional thing. Whether or not they work depends on the type of stash and the facial proportions. I had one once and it was fun. No impolite remarks from strangers but women gave it a very mixed review, but in the end it just wasn't me.
yeah... facial hair is very personal... i think the key is if you are comfortable with it or not, which is the crux of making any style work.
the fun part of developing style is finding what your comfortable with.
