I got a buddy with an impressive bushy mustache, he took his kid to cave creek wild west days and the gunfighters kept trying to recruit him to join because he "already has the facial hair" I've been telling him this for years.
Awesome!!
I love the west so much I’m only 10 but is the best thing in the world you the best
Thank you so much!!!
You to
Im 12 yrs old, i have been inspired by the West since 1st grade, and just this year my mom realised im actually loving it, and that its NOT just “kids love cowboys and pirates”. And i love wyatt earp and have seen tombstone severel times. Favorite western is probably Silverado🤠
AGR IS THE BEST !!!EVER!!!
@Fui Gebhardt1 Man, after reading your post I got excited and turned on the TV, only to realize that even though we do have DISH, we do not have STARS. I wonder how much they're gonna hit me up to add it on.?.?
It took me a minute with the SMG that he kept coming back with different facial hair styles. Really nice vid Santee, as usual.
Thank you! I put his clips in a little out of order, but it got me too when I first watched it.
That moment when you're in your 30's and your peach fuzz finally grows 1/4 of an inch!
I love having a moustache, but by god does it make soup an obstacle course.
The Covid masks don't get along with my mustache.
@@ArizonaGhostriders same! I end up eating it!🤣
Especially if you don't trim it religiously
A Straw helps.
Why live a simple life when you can make every meal an adventure?
If you’ve ever tried shaving with a genuine Victorian straight razor that’s been professionally sharpened you soon understand why beards 🧔 were so popular😢
HAHAAH! Yes. I have and I do.
That's seriously true. Daily shaving wasn't even common until the safety razors. And being shaved with a straight razor by a competent barber was still unsettling.
That's why the coolest men in western fictions was shaved clear few days before the scene. If you're shaving regular you must got balls of steel
Having a full beard myself and have had it since the Christmas of 1975, I have no real need for a straight razor, other than a trim at my local barber. All, I know, is that my barber said it is a special skill one needs to learn and be patient with. He told me that as it is shown on TV and movies nowadays, half if not more of the men would have cut their throats by accident.
I always just thought it was a by product of simple living. Why shave everyday when you can trim your beard once a week, if that.
My pop got me hooked using mustache wax when I was 7,incidentally is also the same age I started chewing tobacco
Uh-oh!! That's really cool, actually.
At 7?!
Gotta iron soul, i see🤠
I’m only 16 but I’m really into the old west, thinking about having a handlebar like my grandpa has, and has had since he was 17, he even sounds like Sam Elliot.
Get started on it!
You say I have a buddy of mine with a walrus stache his grandpa on his mom's side looks like Sam Elliott he even has a epic handlebar stache like him also his older brother has a nice lookin beard the 3 literally are the only males in his family who have facial hair. 👨🏻🦳🧔🏻👨🏻
As a barber and bearded gentleman i really enjoyed this video! I have a deep appreciation for shaving/barbering history and the tools they used, Thanks santee!
You're welcome!
My beard needs a trim! Haven’t shaved since the 1800s!! 🧔
Dang, Rip Van Winkle!!
Arizona Ghostriders ha! I find having a long beard is so much easier than a long mustache. Really like the look of the long stache, but man is it hard to eat a sandwich, soup, drink without straws, or eat ribs. Kudos to all you Long Stachers! Happy Thanksgiving! -Nick 😃👍
@@RideAlongside its not that bad and you'll have a snack for later too
Deplorable Whiteman 😆 I know all too well! What the mustache doesn’t hang onto, the beard will catch for later!
If you can play, ZZ Top could use a bassist. Dusty Hill is playing the great gig in the sky.
I shaved once both my daughters ran away from the "strange man in the livingroom" 1 was 4 the other was 2 theyre now 31 and 29 and my beard is about 10 inches long now ... loved the vid make more and faster lol
My kids are 46 and 43 neither of them have seen my husband without a beard. I'm sure our great grandkids would go running too.
Hahaha. Love that
I had a very similar incident many years ago when my boys were young ! 😊
@@nancybarnett2832 When my daughter, now in her 40s, was about 5 my wife showed her a picture of me when i just had long sideburns. She asked her if she knew who was in the picture. "Yes, that's my daddy when he had a chin." Good Times.
@@baldeagle5297 that is so cute. Never know what kids will say.
Ah, another great episode. Makes me want to go out and grow some mutton chops and use a straight razor. My wife says she'd like to use a straight razor on me too, wonder if that means she's going to do my shaving?
RUN!
My Great Grandfather was a blacksmith in Indian Territory, he sported a very large handlebar moustache, his favorite brand of wax I hear was...I believe, something like Uncle Boogers Moustache Wax.
Uncle Boogers....well, whatever works!
It is interesting how facial hair styles, change and roll back around in & out of fashion.
0:57 got to admire the Wyatt Earp picture
He had a remarkable 'stache
1:35 I dunno but that 'Oh My Gosh' at the end was so funny to me hahaha
Thanks! HA!
This channel just makes my day every time.
Thank you!
@@ArizonaGhostriders : Your welcome but I would really like to thank all of you. Videos are not easy. Lot of work.
One of the many things I love about your videos, Santee, is you always include one of those short clips from an older movie. I search those clips and find some pretty interesting movies afterwards.
Good!
Being the youngest in my family, I must of got all the facial hair. One brother has "Joe Dirt" scattered patches. Oldest brother has decent mustache and beard. Other older brother never really tried. When I start my fall beard in September I am Santa by Christmas. My mustache has been described as Sam Elliot, great, glorious and other terms that embarrassed my wife when spoken by college girls. I went way east once to a week long maintenance course. We had a rental car and a few hours to kill and wanted to see the Atlantic Ocean. On the way back we went into a little gas station on the New Jersey/New York border. I walked in where the guy was behind the inch thick window and a customer was buying lottery tickets. The room was quiet and I heard one of them whistle the Good the Bad and the Ugly tune. That said it all.
Sam Elliott 'stache is something to be proud of.
Remember the mustache allows one to create invisible pistols from thin air
Absolutely! Proven.
You're right about a big beard making you look more aggressive. I have a pretty impressive "Man Mane" and someone snapped a pic of me, at one of our shows, leaning against a post, smoking a cigarette while I was waiting for the show to start. Holy Cow! I looked meaner than a rattlesnake!
Facts say that men with beards are also the most trustworthy!
Beards also gives us Ninja powers. If you don't believe me, ask anyone with a beard. Basically, we're aggressive, trustworthy Ninjas.
Women in surveys also say that bearded men look like better providers and fathers than our non bearded counterparts.
@@Devin_Stromgren in other words, we look like MEN. (Not applicable if you also sport a "man bun")
I knew someone who dare not grow a beard! It came in ginger.
Redbeard!
Barbarossa
This was a great episode, i can't believe it didn't pop up in my feed until now!
That's ok. Better late than never.
I've had a mustache for almost fifty years now, and chin whiskers for the last twenty, helps cover up the scars! I used some beeswax one time on my mustache and the dang bees would fly around my face and drove me crazy! The wife said I tasted sweet when she kissed me, but next time I used it that I should probably separate the wax from the honey ! 😊 😉 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
I can relate. I wax my mustache every day and bees and wasps just seem to love me. I once had a dozen wasps crawling on my face all at once. Although, they don't seem to pay more attention to the 'stache than the rest of my face.
I love it! Very well done and fun to watch. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Thank you for another great video and as always it was a lot of fun finding out about another aspect of the old west.
You're welcome!
I found this the day after I shaved my full blown beard down to a mustache and gotee, lol. I usually grow a full beard in the winter along with my hair out and come spring time, just before planting our garden, I shave everything down to either just a gotee or clean shaven both on the face and scalp and keep it less than 1/8 in til the cool weather comes back. I happen to eba FireFighter where certain facial hair is either explicitly banned and others highly encouraged. I happen to primarily ride an ambulance so I don't have to keep the whiskers short to fit a mask and get to have the luxury of growing a beard and make some of my coworkers jelous.
Thanks for your service as a first responder!
Santee, Your videos are always CUTTING edge!!
Thank you!
The bloopers had me in tears! Santee is hilarious! Great video! 🏜 Keeping the spirit of the West alive!
Thank you!
This was so extremely detailed. Very well done! Learned some cool things. Have a wonderful weekend!
You too, Brendan!
Great episode!
Thank you!
Thanks for another great video. I am also a full beard person so I was very glad to see this
You’re welcome!
Very interesting. Been really ill recently and your videos have kept me going. Thank you Santee!
Well I hope you feel better James! Thanks for watching.
We love facial hair! Thanks for another great episode AGR!!!
You’re welcome! It was fun
I swear watching you folks is like watching a history / Monty Python. I love every minute of it. Keep up the great funny and informative videos.
Thank you!
Thanks Santee... I needed this.
You're welcome!
Been growing (handlebar mustache) mine for years... sometimes when I eat it goes in my mouth it hangs so low, I’ve bitten a hair off before 😂
@@tonycamacho3015 HA! Me too.
Great stuff guys
Thank you!
Great stuff Santee, some of those old time razor's looked deadly !
They are. Also nicknamed "Cuthroat Razors"
Outstanding!!!!
Thank you!
My late husband toyed with the idea of owning a straight razor, but I never allowed one in the house! However, he had his shaving brush, mug, and soap. When one time he shaved off his mustache to play a part in a video, I couldn't get used to how he looked, so he grew it back.
LOL!
Mighty fine. Thanks Santee
You're welcome!
Great video. Winter is starting to set in here in Saskatchewan so it is time for the beard growing to begin!
Thank you! Get it going!!
This is some really good info Santee 😊😊😊
Thank you!
Another Great video santee
Thank you!
Loved it
Thank you!
Your mustache is heavenly
Thank you. Been working on it!
Another interesting vid! Happy thanksgiving!
Thank you!
Great video and great mustache
Thank you!
can't wait til i'm old enough to grow a good mustache
Yeehaw!
Great video santee tfs xx
Thank you!
Outstanding!!! I’ve been using mustache wax for years. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Good stuff. Love the included bloopers. *:-)*
Thank you!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
Even though I am a woman, I am fascinated by facial hair of all sorts.
Cool. Well, I've seen some real interesting facial hair in my time.
Awesome!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lmao. You guys are funny as heck. Love these videos
Much appreciated.
Since I've last binged your channel, ive grown in a pair of Elvis Presley sideburns. They arent much to boast about but it's a simple look that makes the face look more broad (helpful for a bounty hunter or outlaw, as a broad structure can be considered intimidating) but they are also more practical as you wont get sweat and scent caught in extra hair and the rogue whiskers cant turn on you!
Awesome...yes, that rogue mustache hair going north is a problem!
That was one of the bettermost episodes that the Ghostriders ever put out . It's allers great to see some of the other fellas like Eddie, Dan,& Dan., Oh, and BATJAC, can't forget that ratscallion
Thank you!
This was a fine job presenting the subject described in a really cool method of video. Not bad at all very well done entertaining
Thank you very much!
Wet shaving with Merkur 33c safety razor is currently my go to everyday shave.
Nice!
A Goodd informative & entertaining video. I just shaved off my bushy beard for Thanksgiving. ha ha ha I liked the bloopers at the end ha ha. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Just because of you Santee and all your excellent videos, this last seven months I decided to grow a big bushy handle bar walrus mustache. I should be hanging out with you guys.
That is awesome! Way to go, Kevin.
Happy trails to you.
To you as well, pardner
This episode is a cut above the rest
Nice
Hey Santee, I've spent the last four days watching your videos starting with Siri the cat to this video. I've liked, shared, and subscribed and now I'm looking forward to "seeing you on down the trail"!
Thank you so much!
Yep I use a Merkur MK-34C DBL Edge safety razor with a Simpson pure badger brush and it's saved me a fortune in cartridge razors over the past 12 years.
I don't doubt it at all!
thank you for correcting the image of Billy t Kid
Thank you for this. I love updating my avatar's facial hair in Red Dead Redemption online
Cool!
The outro is great people music to ride to in RDR2 hehe. Thanks Santee!
Thanks!
I really need to come down and visit you guys, you guys have all the fun!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
please do
It ser enuff were a plum good show about bread brooms and lip wisks! Thanks Lots Fellers! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Yer Welcome
Excellent episode! I have sported a mustache a time or two, but let's just say my wife didn't appreciate it, so I go for that Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Robert Conrad clean-cut TV look....unless it's an episode about their mustache wearin' evil twin. Ha!
Like in those mistaken Identity episodes of Rifleman and Bonanza!
My grandfather from my dad's side, we call him "Cowboy Grampa" cause he used to work on his own land in Nebraska. I remember my dad telling me that he used to sport a really good moustahce.
Cool!
I used to change up my style every so often, until I made my you tube logo, now I feel I have to keep it this way. Great video Santee!
Aw, you could change it up. We all know who ya are!
I got to keep a goatee but my full mountain man beard of 5 years was lost in June due to starting a new job. Still miss it. Love the Sweeney Todd clip. Very fitting haha
Thank you!
As a bearded man, I've been waiting for this one. Kinda look like a mountain man, shoulder length hair and a full beard.
Yeehaw!
Saturday is not complete without a Santee video.
Thank you!
@@ArizonaGhostriders You're welcome. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the crew.
Lol i was gonna request this but i was like nah i think you already did a video on this. And i was completely wrong. Great video as always Santee,
Thank you!
I love my straight razor and horse hair brush. I use the alum and wax bee's wax and a little mineral oil with a touch of Bay Rum. It works great and smells good. Though I used the Straight Razor before KZhead there are a lot of tutorials on KZhead on how to properly shave with them and trim around facial hair.
Interesting. Glad you are a shave master as well.
Another great video, Santee! I wear a goatee and mustache, despite the fact that my wife hates it. When she convinced me to shave the goatee last year, my double chin became far too apparent. So I grew it back, over her objections. And I loved the clip from "The Pirates of Penzance!" The Modern Major General!
Thank you!
I need some of that mustache tonic, I can hardly grow facial hair for my life!
Awww, that's ok!
Yeah, I'm going for growing some Burnside ultra mutton chops this month.
Go for it!
I wished that the mustache would make a comeback, they used to be popular in the 1970s and 1980s.
They are big in Tucson. Also, beards are common.
Thanks for the video. Heading out to a fancy dress party tonight and want to look the part.
Good
This was a great video. Facial hair was an important part of male presentation . As well, the standard of your town Barber Shop reflected the standard of your town.
Funny how the world goes through facial hair trends. 10 years ago mustaches and beards were out, now they are in. They were popular in the 70s, but not the late 80s...
Very, very interesting
Glad you think so!
I’ve always wanted to try an old-fashioned shave with a straight razor, but I don’t trust myself. LOL!! Great vid!
I’d end up Noseless
Yeah, I know what you mean, I bought a real good one a few years ago and still haven't been able to try it yet! 😊 One of these days when I get to the point of nothing to live for...... I might try! 😊
If you want to work your way up to it, I recommend switching to the old school double bladed safety razor. Way closer shave and way cheaper that the modern plastic junk.
My grandpa used to shave with cup rush and straight razor. I still remember the leather strop he had hanging behind the bathroom door. I started with a double edge safety razor too
@@Devin_Stromgren Double edges safety razors are pretty great honestly, odd that something so cheap and antiquated works better than a modern razor that charges 5 times as much for just the plastic cartridges. I feel like I get more use out of one disposable blade than I do out of a modern one too.
Thinking I need a few weeks vacation just to catch up on all these videos
Think I need one to make some more!
And . . . grow out a great 'stache at the same time!
I've gotta get me some of that tonic! lol. Gotta love the lambchops!
Yup!
Thanks John for dropping by we really appreciate your love how can anyone put dislikes on your videos are they mad how about growing a beard john I hope one day I can get over 1000 views you have a amazing channel a cut thoat shave is the best another awesome like John take care and have a fantastic week full view take 74 lol
Much appreciated!!!
WOW TOO COOL !!
Thank you!
Love the musical theatre references
Glad! I have a history in it, so it surfaces frequently!
Interesting to learn about the Alum
🤠
I was sooooooooo close!!! Awesome Video Santee.
Thank you!
When I lived in California, a local casino gave tours. One exhibit that surprised me, was old photos of the tribesmen, with full "Gabby Hayes"-type beards. I always thought that they could NOT grow beards and always had a full head of hair. (That was one genetic trait I envied---since the only place I want hair is on the top of my head where it used to be, and not on my face where it will grow until the last roundup). It appears those desirable genes are not present in all tribes.
True!
Well, that Hair Tonic was certainly effective! - Jed 🤠
That was the last of it too. I was gonna use it on my head!
fantastic !! ha ha ha,.. you guys should definitely chase that "Burnside" look for the channel :-)
Rita would eviscerate me with a butter knife.
Another great episode Santee. I'm proud of my mutton chops.
Well done in the Mutton Chop department!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thanks!
I am 12 but love American history. Once I finish school I want to move to Arizona or Texas and work as a barber in a living history town. But I don't even know where to start. I want to work with the barber guy, he is amazing.
Christopher, thanks for keeping the Old West alive! Jon actually lives in Florida, but I'm sure you won't have a problem learning the ancient art of shaving!
Not all of my clothing is period, but I've been wearing hats and boots to school for a couple months now and I get s lot of compliments.
shoulda seen that tonic coming
