There are moments and milestones in every man's life that never slip by without a genuine nod to their greatness - like love at first sight, our child's first steps and teaching friends how to roll their first doobie. However, all of these things pale in comparison to a more recently recognized month-long appreciation of the hair above men's lips around the world, along with its power for simultaneous prostate cancer awareness - Movember. With this month comes great facial responsibility, continual manscaping and a need for more self-respect than any other period of a gentleman's life. Now for your personal inspiration, here are 25 mustache overachievers to keep those razor blades in the cabinets and that dirt lip growing a little longer than it normally should.
The "Who's Rollie Fingers?" Mustache
That's right, hipsters, that handlebar mustache you're donning was revived in the 1970s by Oakland A's pitcher Rollie Fingers, who originally grew it to win a team contest. It became his trademark look and has been imitated ever since, especially during Movember.

The "Former President of Mustaches" Mustache
Tom Selleck has been the role model for mustache men since the days of "Magnum, P.I." But every great leader must step aside for a newer, stronger generation of mustache-growing freaks.

The "Newly Appointed President of Mustaches" Mustache
And here he is. Movember's new leader not only has a strong, healthy mustache, but also a love for meats, shotguns and breakfast food, and lack of respect for government. If you need some mustache encouragement, check out this video below.

The "Hot Wheels Mega Loop" Mustache
You could stare at it impolitely for hours or you could just take your Hot Wheels for the time of their life. Either way, he must be expecting people to take advantage of this playground.

The "Responsible Dad About to Turn Meth Lord" Mustache
Seemingly a kindhearted, hardworking middle-class man who can't be tempted by money in exchange for the love and safety of his family. Yeah, right.

The "I Didn't Get the Job; I'm Probably Overqualified" Mustache
Yeah, we've all been there. When you asked the guy interviewing you to call that facial extremity by a pet name, it surely didn't hurt your chances of getting a job at the local elementary school. The sunglasses may have, though.

The "This Thing Wears Me Out" Mustache
Hours of primping, along with the mental and physical burden of a strong mustache, can take its toll. Don't fight it; listen to what your body tells you it needs.

The "Master Splinter Gets a McSmoothie" Mustache
You may think Halloween is over, but the other 364 days of the year never change for a man of this stature. I just wouldn't want to be the guy who gets his order wrong.

The "I Can Do This Because I'm Michael Jordan and You Can't" Mustache
At first, people were caught off-guard and shocked by Mike's latest trend. Be advised that this is perfectly acceptable, given his accomplishments, but if anyone else were to follow suit, they'd go down in flames. Do not attempt the Hitler stache if you are not MJ.

The "Real Life Monterey Jack from Rescue Rangers" Mustache

The "Reverse Leprechaun" Mustache
There are some things in this world you just can't outgrow, like your inability to actually grow, the swarmy cheese-dyed hair on your head or the incessant need for money. So, just grow a 'stache to look less like a leprechaun.

The "Real American Idol" Mustache
If we all could be like Bill Murray for an entire month, this country would be in the best shape ever. Sadly, most of us lack the courage, charisma, rugged handsomeness and overall lack of care for most things we deem important. But we can still try.

The "This Stache Is the Only Thing I Didn't Eat" Mustache
This man needs no introduction, probably because he would just eat it, anyway. We love him though, and his ability to make us laugh ... sometimes. Every few years.

The "Landscape Manscaper" Mustache
Here's something you don't see every day - facial hair as a canvas. It's like one insane mustache on top of another on top of another.

The "Bowtie Relocation" Mustache
Not everybody finds ease in tying their own ties. In fact, a majority of men never learn how to tie a tie until decades after learning to tie their shoes, yet they're both of equal difficulty. This, however, seems to be a hard-earned substitute for a clip-on.

The "Sons of Anarchy Still Won't Let Me in Their Club" Mustache
No matter how badass you try to look, people will always remember your weakest moment, like that time you not only thought doing a film with Nic Cage was a good idea, but that time you actually made your face look just like his, too.

The "Now I Really Am a Serial Killer" Mustache
He's scary enough with blood slides and an extensive knife collection. There's no need to add a mustache to this guy. Now he's almost too scary for the show. Oh wait, that's real life.

The "This Changes Things a Little" Mustache
Let's be honest, the guy who stands emotionless in your backyard and chases you with a knife, at less than a power walker's stride, isn't all that scary. Stick a mustache on that guy and you'll never sleep another night in your life. Somebody thought this through.

The "Original Because It's Stupid" Mustache
Poor Chuck Zito. "Sons of Anarchy" fans knew this guy wouldn't last long, as his need for continuous stache upkeep and uncanny appearance to Julian from "Trailer Park Boys" made him less badass from the start.

The "I'd Still Bang Her" Mustache
There are a lot of deal-breakers out there, but it's tough to say you'd pass on such a pretty package over something as little as lip hair. If anything, this makes her kisses that much more special.
