Who will win this year’s Mustache and Beard Competition on Sept. 10 at Coney Island? Here’s our guide to understanding the different styles:

Myk O’Connor, a legend of the game, sports a foot-long natural that he says makes him feel like a man. He’s a two-time Coney winner, and this year is giving others a chance, and will be a judge instead.
