---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pencil mustache is a famous facial hair expression that took place in the 1940’s. Generally, a pencil mustache is a thin mustache contiguous or maybe a bit higher to your upper lip. It is conceived as an elegant style for men having a minimum reaction to facial hair. The film “Gone With The Wind” was premiered in 1939 & there the leading character Clark Gables was seen with a new facial hair expression which we call Pencil Mustache. In the 1940’s many famous celebrities like Clark Gables, David Niven, Errol Flynn, and George Orwell followed this style.
