Whoa, Tom, it looks like there's a right nice lip weasel that's taken up residence on your upper lip Be sure to work on taming him to keep him behaving as you want using the tips in the 'Taming the Wild Mustache' thread that's linked in my signature. As our namesake said earlier, those annoying little hairs at the corners of your mouth can be plucked or clipped as needed to maintain your comfort, and sanity. Just don't do too many!

It's coming along nicely, sir! As for the time in the bathroom, well, it's time well-spent

Cheers!
Tom
