Having a beard is just not what it used to be. To me the beard was a sign of maturity, wisdom, and power. Kings have beards, wizards have beards, Jesus and all your Biblical characters had beards. Today the beard is a sign of letting yourself go, but fear not fellow gents. It's OK to rock the mountain man look. People freak out way to often over the beard, but we are men! Stand tall, let it grow, and let us show the world that we will not terry.
Take a look at our history in beards.
Moses |
Socrates |
Jesus |
Then the world shaved (they look good, however a nice beard would look awesome)
1900s |
1950s |
Today |
Other than a select few men out there, you don't see a good beard that often. Most of the time, it has to do with the career that we are in, sometimes there is a lady involved, sometimes we just shave and that is not a bad thing. Beards need to be refreshed every so often. Point being is beards are for gentlemen too.
Tips on Keeping a Gentlemanly and Awesome Beard.
1. Don't shave. Let that puppy grow!
2. Trim the edges. You can still have an awesome
beard, keep it neat and tidy.
3. Blend it. I like to keep mine blended in with my haircut.
4. Participate in No Shave November, beard growing contests,
NHL Playoff Beards, or any other kind of contest or vowel,
like Samson did.
5. Respect the beard.
