To Beard Or Not To Beard: A Series On Facial Hair - Part 2

Burlesque, Exquisite, Astounding, Righteous, Dominating.
These are some of the many words to describe the glorious girth of hair on the lower extremities of a man’s face commonly referred to as a beard. Beards are an essential part of being the “Man’s Man.” When people imagine what a “Man’s Man” physically looks like, there is only one image that permeates the mind. You guessed it! It’s the bristles of hair upon the lower division of his face. Of course the ideal “Man’s Man” is tough, responsible, caring, brave, intelligent, cunning, strong, and has the beard embodying all these characteristics. Now man to man. Mano y mano. It’s time for me to give you some manly “Man’s Man” reasons to “Grow a Beard.”
