Hairspray

misc/beard2_bigRainier Maute, a dashingly whiskered trucker from Albstadt, Germany, plans to compete in the Olympic Games later this year.

It may be surprising that the 48-year-old smoker has a shot at a title. But Maute says he follows a strict training regime to keep in top form.

Each morning the former world and European champion stands before a mirror, where he spends 15 minutes grooming his trim, Kaiser Wilhelm-style mustache. His training gear? “Hairspray … and hazelnut mustache wax.”

  1. Gross!
    Imagine trying to kiss him.
    His poor wife.
    Maybe that’s why they only have two children.

    I wonder what other scents of wax are available besides hazelnut? LOL.

    Does he have to wear wax to sleep at night? One would think that he would constantly get hair in his mouth otherwise, especially if he snores.

  2. There’s more to life than kissing. Sometimes we need to make sacrifices for our art.
