When I was in college, I was told that to make a good seal, and if I ever wanted to have a low range, then I should shave it off. I did. Now , years later, I've let it grow back, with no apparent difference. I feel like my seal was better w/o it, but when I let it grow out like Wyatt Earp a couple of years ago, I didn't notice a major difference. My top lip got a little raw on long gigs sometimes. Now I trim it above the top lip, and everything is fine. And I also use shampoo instead of soap.
Don't let anyone take away your FREEDOM to wear one. I worked places where you could not have one. (no safety concerns, just the boss' opinion of what was professional) Wear the biggest, longest moustache you can. Grow a long beard. Do what you want. The only acceptable image of the successful, respectable, hireable American male is no longer the clean-shaven G.I. returning from WWII. Don't let the bastards get you down. And NO, it's not a large peeve of mine at all.
