Idaho Escapee: Mustaches Make You Look Older

Idaho Escapee: DFO, I think moustasches add age, whether gray or not. A long time ago, I had sort-of a Fu Manchu thing going on. Can't do that now. ... It would come in gray.

DFO: I've worn my mustache since I was 18. I've been tempted to shave it in the last few years, especially when the little hairs turned from black to gray. Then, I dunno. I've had this mustache longer than I've been in the news biz. It's so much of the aging landscape that is my face that I'd have a hard time cutting it. Besides, occasionally, I and the stache come back into style. Think Adam Morrison.

Question: Anyone know what kind of facial hair is in style now?
