About This Quiz
Set your clippers to "STUN!"
Some men like that clean-shaven, baby-faced look and, to be honest, they really do it well. Then, there are guys who just simply can't grow a full beard but that doesn't stop quite a few of the celebrities in this quiz from working every bit of lip, cheek and chin fuzz they've got.Â
Thick or thin, a mustache has always been regarded as one of the manliest features a guy can have. All mustaches were not created equal, however, and while some have (thankfully) faded away, others have gone down in the history books as the very definition of "MAN." How are you with celebrity mustaches - can you tell one celebrity's handlebars from the next?
The soul patch (that bit of hair under the lower lip) has been in vogue for some time now. If any of your favorite celebrities sport one, do you think they own that soul patch enough for you to spot them by it? You'll have to take the quiz to find that out!Â
So, whether you like them well-groomed or deliberately scruffy, these guys and their enviable facial hair deserve a quiz all of their own - so, let's get to it!
