Default Is the 'tash growing gene dying out?

I ponder this question following a morning conversation on the topic at work where the majority of blokes concurred that the 'tash did not feature in their beard armoury.

I am also not able to muster much more than a 5-a-side, although my dad (in earlier days) had a traditional walrus-esque number.

So, is the gene on its way out, and is this possibly another sad fatality to global warming? Or do I just happen to work with a bunch of 'tash-less wonders?

I'll throw it out to the Org.

My beard armoury has a full on (neatly kept!) tash. My younger brother can also achieve this look, but my older brother only has to shave once a week to stay stubble free. Any less than 4 day-old stubble is completely unnoticeable on him.

I used to have cross between a 70s porn star and a mexican bandit growing under my nose. Had to go years ago when the guys at work would say "Oi gringo"


but I remember the advice given to me as a 17yrd old apprentice on one secondment,

Never grow under your nose what grows naturally on your arse.

Interesting. Hell fire though, at 13 I barely had bum fluff on my chin never mind a tash!

A Poirot number would be a better option IMO, a la David Suchet:
