I've never noticed how much Pedro Pascal looks like Burt Reynolds, but after seeing them both in succession, it's sort of uncanny...

[@Sarah-lt7um]

It was shocking when that photo of Burt came up after Pedro!

[@dandanjoe]

I seriously can’t unsee it now.. 😅

[@dougchee]

i didn’t realize they both showed up in Succession

[@lauriekruczek]

Thankfully is the complete OPPOSITE of Burt Reynolds in personality.

[@ismaelmacias4858]

I always thought they were the same person !!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@dragonsbreath5408]

Please do a part 2, this is so entertaining! Add Jeff bridges next time, dude has an awesome beard

[@jessevanderheijden5208]

We all know there is a mustache he avoided 💀

[@ronaldgarcia5300]

The Jordan mustache.

[@j_edwards6075]

Oh lol, taken me a few minutes to figure out who you were referring to 🤣 The Australian equivalent to that, the Chopper Reid or Ivan Millat mo...

[@danishbutter1847]

Hitler stash as well

[@Blinkers2007GameDev]

“Destroyer of Poland” stach

[@k3rc4]

@@danishbutter1847 Chaplin's stache, that's where Adolf took the inspiration after all ;)

[@HMF47]

I had no idea there was so much science and artistry to facial hair. Great video, although I wish he mentioned Kurt Russell in Hateful Eight and Kenneth Branagh in his Hercule Poirot movies.

[@mattyconradgrooming]

Great staches indeed!

[@justinreilly6619]

Matter Conrad is a great speaker on facial hair, please GQ do a part two with him in it. 🙏

[@coldramentpm1013]

too bad he’s canadian

[@mattyconradgrooming]

Proudly 🇨🇦

[@marcokilby7875]

Came out today!

[@justinreilly6619]

@@marcokilby7875 watched it! It was great! Thanks however for the heads-up. 🙏

[@hairdustry]

Matty this was great- like others have mentioned we need a part 2

[@ssathayanarayana765]

This deserves a part 2!!!!

[@Youngdolphforlife]

Really sat through the whole thing, I think I learned something !

[@ellis1459]

Great video mate, really enjoyed seeing the different types/styles on various people👍🏼

[@and_furthermore]

Henry Cavill's Mustache is a great band name.

[@dannymartial7997]

Not mentioning Johnny Depp in a video about staches is criminal. He has the most iconic facial hair ever. To the point where anyone who has his style of facial hair just ends up looking like him.

[@michaelseghposs4117]

Can’t have a conversation about the modern stache without mentioning 5x Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead. He probably was wearing this in competitions before all these guys.

[@ShahJahan-gn4nr]

Exactly watched him in gym on the TV always adored it

[@morabay]

Aaron Taylor Johnson’s moustache in both Anna karenina and bullet train were both really cool. I alternate between those 2 styles

[@allanmclay]

Jameson Parker’s stache in The Prince of Darkness, Robert Carlyle’s in Trainspotting, James Remar’s in Django: Unchained and Kurt Russell’s in Tombstone are among the best moustaches I’ve ever seen. Those lads rocked the stache!

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

I watched the world moustache and beard championship and it was astonishing the guy that won has a bird catch and bird made of hair it couldn't believe it much respect for those guys because that's what you call dedication

[@davidripplinger8904]

Of course Jim Carrey's stache in the 2nd sonic was freaky. It was a nod to the over-the-top design of the video game character he's based on.

[@djalixer]

That was excellent. Please review trimmers

[@JBrotsis1]

It’d be nice in the future, if we got explanations for the origins of these mustache style names. Glad you guys have continued Matty’s series!

[@jackroberts4051]

Christian Bale in Hostiles. Fantastic stache! It's rugged yet classic at the same time.

[@jaososchefget3632]

been waiting for this

[@InviernoAustral]

Matty, you’re one of the greats.

[@willnotlie369]

Been rocking the beard stache for about a year now thinking of fulling committing to the mustache soon enough

[@j_edwards6075]

In my early 20's I grew a handlebar stache so long I could curl it upwards and touch my eyes with it. It looks cool, but there's only so many times I can handle not being able to lick the bottom of the dessert bowl because your moustache gets caked in ice cream...

[@Fjelieks]

Thanks, Andy from The Office

[@aotos2102]

Miles Teller’s mustache works well because the military has a regulation to follow with facial hair. His fits well with what is considered “in regs.” Nice little detail for the military guys if its something they were really going for.

[@udokanmaogbonna387]

Intidimating

[@westsidex88]

You really should check Charlie Hunnam's Mustache&Beard towards the end of Sons of Anarchy Season 3

[@konradgranqvist8131]

Know any actors with Lampshade stache? I think there should be more videos surrounding that particular style of mustache.

[@ItspronouncedAaron]

Mattie Conrad is the GOAT on men’s grooming videos and has a killer beard.

[@j-10k64]

Really needed this video cause I’m lowkey tired of my beard lol 😅

[@bigbossproduction447]

After growing the Mo for Movember!! , I’ve decided to keep the the Mo as I’ve been told I suit it , some like it and some don’t , I think I’d look weird with out it now , im going to embrace it now !! 😂 at 43

[@jedimindtrixr4kidz294]

You could do a whole special on Keanus patch job

[@the-enders]

I’ve always been able to grow a full, thick mustache since high school but have never taken the leap. Doing it now but curious if it actually fits my face and style. Wish we could submit photos so you could critique lol

[@danzbeard]

This is awesome - mustache is the way to go 👍🏼

[@notoriousthugz5091]

Lalo Salamanca? Perfect one.

[@sal-vadergarcai8636]

How about Owen Wilson as Mobius. As a matter of fact how about an MCU stache rundown??

[@darcyrochester4321]

I would never compare Miles Teller and Tom Selleck 😮

[@mihovildanicic5305]

36, sporting Elliot walrus, going for Kitchener: It's ok for most stuff, twist and part it like Red Sea for soup and such, chin down for pudding and cake, forget about the ice cream.

[@benjamindavis4974]

Ncuti Gatwa the new Doctor Who has moustache too

[@nikkixo6334]

Never thought id see a mustache expert on here wow

[@mattyconradgrooming]

I’m actually just a barber… but that by implication would make you a facial hair expert. Certainly never referred to myself as a “moustache expert”

[@marcoaureliodominguesallam8347]

Am i the only one that thought he was going to mention Jamie Hyneman when talking about the walrus mustache?

[@SomePeopleCallMe]

It's a travesty that MythBuster's Jamie Hyneman wasn't on this list

[@el_kks_4361]

Moustaches are back in the game bois 🤙🏽🤑

[@SvenSan]

The title is a little missleading...

[@jedimindtrixr4kidz294]

I didn't know that was called "anchor style" Every time that has magically appeared on my face I called it "mushroom style".

[@CaesarMagno]

Burt Reynolds = Pedro Pascal 🤯

[@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844]

I agree that walrus moustaches take less maintenance, however I disagree with the other thing you said; I think that they take a lot of GROOMING, just not a lot of cutting

[@mattyconradgrooming]

Excellent point… I should have been more clear about that

[@udokanmaogbonna387]

Sorry I like clean shave when it’s like sort of I like Milo though a lot with facial hair and Steve harvey

[@nikodembaehr401]

could've mentioned movember

[@ambiguoustraveller]

came here for the moustaches, stayed for the canadian accent!!

[@jasonburch3659]

For part 2 add Jason Schwartzman

[@j-10k64]

Never noticed how much Pedro Pascal looks so much like Burt Reynolds until now lol

[@shirleyngamlana8849]

WE NEEEED A “THINGS SABRINA CARPENTER CANT LIVE WITHOUT” VIDEO😭🥺❤️

[@stephendocherty6629]

Matty you missed Kurt Rusell and Jeff bridges 😮

[@kaseyrae7694]

Mustache RIDES 😊

[@killakopter5193]

You gonna finish that squirrel? Or just keep chewing on it 😂

[@revengeoftheseth]

Next time do Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer and pretty much the entire Tombstone cast

[@alekseev7646]

Came for stache, stayed for Cera

[@ScotianBlooded]

does it get closer you your nose the longer it gets i feel like mine is thin

[@TomMarvoloRiddle01]

I think the fight for the best mustache ever i would put tom selleck against don frye.

[@tonytony-ho8kh]

Don't forget lalo Salamanca.

[@hannibalfrimer-rasmussen1635]

I think you forgot to mention Charlie Chaplin, we need him in the part 2.

[@alfonsodelacalle9376]

Thanks for the video. Let me suggest you another interesting topic: Iconic people with goatee style. And what's better? The thin one or thick one?

[@Erkkson.]

Can you do Hugh jackman

[@Dhobby517]

Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood

[@audaciko]

Steven Yeun not Yuan.

[@deandre6242]

You forgot the austrian painter

[@FernandoSilva-wf9ly]

How do I grow a bushy one 🤔

[@furkandenizozdemir8457]

tom hardy's various mustaches, definitely missing

[@gameoverlordN7]

I miss eating things with cream on top....

[@ianAEF]

How about the Chaplin mustache? We never see those these days, I wonder why

[@DecanFrost]

i cant believe you guys skipped Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark beard, i mean, that should have been the first one on.......

[@bro..stop.]

That’s a goatee not a moustache

[@Jon-bt4zv]

What about the Chaplin stache?

[@TheRhythmOfLife1972]

You forgot that it's hard to kiss a Woman- nix on beards & mustaches. Always Clean Shaven.❤

[@kaspinet]

Offerman shaved because it was his wife's preference when they kissed.

[@skate4life169]

NO FRANK ZAPPA?

[@Yamagatabr]

WHAT? No mentions of Frank Zappa, Jayme Heineman, and Toshiro Mifune???

[@Zippypeepee]

Shoulda put Marc Maron in here

[@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844]

Brad Pitt looks best with a goatee in my opinion

[@unluckypoorsoul]

How can you not mention Daniel Plainview's mustache?

[@soapalot]

It’s covered in milkshake

[@kodo2795]

Not including Daniel Day Lewis on here is sacrilege

[@bngr_bngr]

Any one can wear a mustache as long as they can grow one.

[@user-mw7un5kx5z]

Cool

[@Angelfeather100]

Uhmmm… sorry, but Henry Cavill looks GREAT, full stop. Did I say “great” ? Make it drop dead gorgeous.

[@NiceCat333]

I didn’t bother watching this vid, I’m just wondering how you became a mustache expert. Sounds like something I could be into….

Okay do a part 2 but without all the doofy weak staches I want real examples

Forgot Andrew Schulz

if you gonna gtow a stache you gotta let it grow past the upper lip it looks better

[@elkazmakaz5870]

What about Christian Bale

[@what_was_that4883]

Probably not the best title to have lol

[@jacknotwest1200]

Chaplin…

[@MrVibezzz]

WTF?!? how is it even possible to become a mustache expert....

[@mattyconradgrooming]

It took many years of study. I did my undergrad at Northwestern in follicular sciences then earned a doctorate at the Sorbonne académie de moustache. My Honorary PHD was granted by the Royal Handlebar Moustache Society of Nottingham…. Nah. I’m actually just a barber… have been for almost 30 years.
