Chester A. Arthur

The first line of the Whitehouse.gov biography of this man:

" Dignified, tall, and handsome, with clean-shaven chin and side-whiskers, Chester A. Arthur "looked like a President."

I agree.

Today's MotD belongs to Lew Wallace, a Civil War General.

I encourage you to use your imagination when gazing upon moustaches as magnificent as these. Think of taking orders from this man. Think of walking into his tent, and briefing him on some very troubling developments, causing him significant consternation. How would he respond, imagine his facial expression. Think about the stories he must have told, once the whiskey started flowing.

Hello,
Welcome to the first edition of The Daily Moustache.

Today's entry is, appropriately, the oldest representation of a moustache known to man. (I will be using consistently gendered language in this blog, for obvious reasons. Apologies to Frida and that unfortunate woman at Blockbuster when I was in 3rd grade.)

This magnificent moustache dates from 300 BC, and pictured is a Scythian horseman. Think about the shaving technology 300 years before Christ.

The debonair facial expression that accompanies an epic 'stache had already been perfected, even then! My father's (and many other fathers' as well, certainly), adage that "there's nothing new under the sun," comes to mind.

Talk about a Pedigree, look at that thing.
