Hitler - really scuppered the ubiquity and popularity of the toothbrush moustache.
I worked for a Russian Jew who settled in the UK
He founded the first Jewish synagogue in Newcastle and was invited to travel to Warsaw to witness the ghettos.
Remarkably he had a 'toothbrush' moustache !!!
How bizarre - but maybe he thought it was a style before and should be a style after Hitler.
Well, yes: it used to be a very popular look.
A few years back, Richard Herring did a show where he was trying to reclaim Chaplin's moustache for comedy...
I do remember that now you mention it.
