The dictionary defines mustache as ” The hair growing on the human upper lip, especially when cultivated and groomed”. But it is so much more than that. It represents power, manliness, fashion and an attitude that screams “Look at this thing on my face!”
As you can see I, Benji Nelson, have been sporting a class A mustache (or moustache as the French would say) for a while now. But the question is why do I choose to grow this pushbroom, soupstrainer, cookieduster, nose neighbor, flavor saver or mouth brow as they call it? The simple answer is that I examined that greatest men on earth, and do you know what they had in common? Yes, that’s right, the famed mustache.
So I would now like to introduce you to my heroes. My Mustache Hall of Fame:
For more information you can visit the American Mustache Institute.

As you are inspired, please add to this list of legendary mustache men. If you have a legendary mustache, let us know, we’ll add you to the list.

















Benji,
Despite being named for a dog, the American Mustache Institute believes you have crafted a fine, fine mustache Hall of Fame. Carry on!
Thank you Aaron. Having someone from the AMI recongnize my Hall of Fame selections is more than I could ever have dreamed.
Can’t believe I forgot about Freddy Mercury (click his name to see the photo)

Wilfred Brimley is the worst. My dad worked with him once at a Quaker Oats photoshoot and said he was a total ass.
Thank for for the comment on my blog; feel free to check back for more mustache-themed posts in the future. This is a good list with some impressive mustaches, yours included. Keep up the good work.
A top rate list indeed… but you forgot Carmen Electra
