Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

His BadassMustache turns green, his head becomes full of moss, the hair under his arms becomes PrehensileHair, and he catches a cold he never gets rid of. Also, when applied on an inanimate object, the tonic does exactly what it should do on a human's head.
