Can men with beards and mustaches tape?
Are any men with beards and mustaches successfully tape? Is there a trick to it or a type of tape that works better for this?

sleeping ugly,
I have a mustache and have been taping without any major problems. Don't know the name of the tape, but it is a semi-clear medical tape that tears easily in straight lines. You can get it at a drug store.I use 2 pieces, one down each side of the nose forming a V shape. If my mouth fills with air, I can still exhale it through the small untaped part at the center of my lips just above the bottom of the V. Boy I hope that makes sense!!
Good luck

Yes... you just have to wrap it around your head a few times.

I have a short trimmed beard and experimented a bit with taping. Paper tape worked as well as 3M blue painters tape. Neither one was difficult to peel off skin & hair.

It comes to mind that some have used duct tape as a substitute for bikini wax, so be careful.

Paraphrasing Edna Mode:
No tapes!

I imagine a rectangular bald spot in the beard...A new fashion, or just kinky?
