I was doing some fact-finding about george orwell's early life for a class project, and his facial hair while he was a cop is…um…well, I'm going to choose to interpret it as performance art about the nature of the police as an force of state oppression, but…I really can't use this picture in my project. For obvious reasons.

It was a common choice back then before Hitler made everyone associate it with him. I believe it's called the Toothbrush mustache.

IIRC Hitler model his grooming style from Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid persona

The pic must have been in the 1920's? Probably the moustache wasn't that... iconic back then.
Edit. It's not like he wore it after WWII, like, as a super random example chosen for no particular reason, Trump's dad did :P

Of course you can use it.
Stupid to imply otherwise.

@Shkshkshk i think about this often.... isn't it kinda amazing one man ruined an entire facial hair style? like has anything happening like this before?
lets hope comb overs get the same fate....
