The moustache has always been used and seen as a representation of a man’s virility

The word "moustache" is French, and is derived from the Italian moustacio (fourteenth century), dialectal mostaccio (16th century), from Medieval Latin moustaccium (eighth century), Medieval Greek μοστάκιον (moustakion), attested in the ninth century, which ultimately originates as a diminutive of Hellenistic Greek μύσταξ (mustax, mustak-), meaning "upper lip" or "facial hair", probably derived from Hellenistic Greek μύλλον (mullon), "lips

The moustache has always been used and seen as a representation of a man’s virility. And at the same time it has been used to characterize the personality of the man wearing it. The moustache has been a part of manhood since the beginning of time.The earliest known record of a moustache dates back to 300BC. It was documented by a portrait of a Scythian man who wore a moustache while riding a horse (Pazyryk Horeseman). This ancient depiction hangs in the State Hermitage Mueseum in St petersburg.

"close growth of hair on the chin and lower face, normally characteristic of an adult male", Old English beard "beard," from West Germanic *barthaz , seemingly from PIE root *bhardhā- "beard" (source also of Old Church Slavonic brada, Russia boroda, Old French berd is from Germanic.

c. 1300, "to grow or have a beard," from beard (n.). The sense of "confront boldly and directly" is from Middle English phrases such as rennen in berd "oppose openly" (c. 1200), reproven in the berd "to rebuke directly and personally" (c. 1400), on the same notion as modern slang get in (someone's) face.

So says the holy Bible about the Beard:

You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard. You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:27-28)

I have studied the word of God for myself and found out that the word says it is better for men to have beards. It is a natural thing that a man's facial hair grows and to cut it off is to change your natural manly appearance to look like a woman’s face, Smooth and dainty. We are made in the image of God and Jesus himself had a beard.

got! thou hast got more hair on thy chin than
