…mustaches??

Yes they did their hair, but what about the top lip?

Waxed, I'd have thought, and probably not powdered.

At least for the Prussians, waxed, not powdered

What about marines in powdered armor?

I've never heard of the mustaches being powdered.

I've never heard of donuts being waxed.

Gack, there's something about a thread title that just ambiguously states 'Powdered…' that just brings out the trouble maker in me!

I suppose some moustaches were powdered with snuff

Or after a battle powdered with powder???

When I had a moustache, I would powder it with donuts.
