Joseph Stalin
The Joseph Stalin is one of the most recognizable mustaches that instantly demands fear and respect. When Vladimir Lenin died in 1924, Stalin entered the Russian political scene to not only purge Russia of the Communist party, but to also replace the image of Lenin's outdated Balbo beard with a new and carefully groomed mustache. My Joseph Stalin is a little more rounded to be less intimidating, and is accented by a hat reminiscent of current Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Franz Josef
The Franz Josef was named after the Austrian king in the late 1800s. It's a more angular version of the A La Souvarov beard that goes down closer to the chin instead of curving up to form the mustache higher up on the cheek. Was popular during the Civil War era when it was arguably worn best by General Ambrose Burnside. I gave the beard about two weeks to grow out enough to shape everything out but wish I gave it a little more time to get the fluffiness that makes the Franz Josef so enviable.
