Hey Marc. I haven't visited your thread in a while; it's good to still see you going strong. Mustache wise; I reckon you have been extremely patient with it! Mine was driving me batty too. About 6 weeks ago I trimmed the centre segment to the lip and haven't looked back. I wasn't a big fan of handlebars on me anyway so I now much prefer the look as well as being able to eat again. I think as long as the bulk is kept the mustache looks just fine. Of course it is a very personal decision and your mustache is pretty epic as it is! Best of luck buddy and I bet your America road trip will be brilliant!
