Welcome to the board pipedope. That is one awesome beard / handlebar moustache. To control the handlebar, you can use a moustache wax or styling gel. I've used Hndlebars Moustache wax (which is a bees wax based product) and Got2B Glued styling gel (which is a water based product). The wax is a little harder to wash out of the stache but controls very well. The styling gel feels like harden glue in your stache but also controls very well. Some of the other board members can probably give you more advise on this since I don't have a lot of experience with moustache products.

I'm a Wisconsinite also.. South Central part.
