Man Breaks Mustache Record at 2 Feet, 1 Inch Long

A South Carolina man’s 2-foot, 1-inch whiskers earned him the Guinness World Record for the longest mustache on a living person.

Paul Slosar of Summerville had the length of his mustache verified at the National Beard and Mustache Championships, and the measurement was submitted to Guinness World Records for official verification.

He sports an English-style mustache, defined by the World Beard and Mustache Championships as: “Slender, beginning from the middle of the upper lip with the hairs extremely long and pulled to the side. Tips may be lifted slightly.”

The facial hair enthusiast said he’s sported a mustache for about 30 years.

He believes his drinking habits promote growth for his mustache.

“What worked for me was Guinness beer for starters. Then when I could not drink the beer due to the carbonation, I switched to Jack Daniels Whiskey.”
