Movember-A Collection of Vintage Mustache Images

It’s November which means it’s Movember, a global campaign that encourages men to grow Mustaches in November to support the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. I support this campaign every year (among other ones as well) and thought it would be fun for my blog to do a “Vintage” edition of moustaches and help out the cause this way 🙂
