Itchy - just catching up here and your most recent pics are looking good. Keep us posted as to how you make out with the stache, mine is driving me nuts as well - one side behaves but the other wants to go the wrong way. I tried wax but it didn't work out well for me and I didn't like the feel. I then tried got2b glue and that seems like it will hold anything but I felt like I was wearing a fake mustache it was so stiff. I resorted to trimming the longer hairs as short term that seemed like the best solution and my stache seems to grow pretty quick; I can always try the longer look later on. Your looks like it naturally falls in the right direction, I'm thinking some wax will work out well for you. Good luck and beard on!
