Visual Art For Those Who Love the Beard
Posted by Jen Graves on Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 9:19 AM
I have to admit that I am not among your ranks (my favorite type of beard is the kind that appears in Woody Allen movies, meaning the false date), but for you facehairlovers I report that Beard Revue—its tagline is "Review, commentary & discussion for the beard enthusiast. Up the beard ratio!"—is one year old, and celebrating with a Milton Glaser-esque da Vinci portrait poster.

Reasons why I shaved my beard off a year and a half ago:
1) Face sweat.
2) Dingleberries. Nothing sexier than a man with a stray hunk of roast beef and a dollop of mayo in his scruff.
3) My face always smelled like whatever I last ate, and if I had pho, my jawbone would stink like dirty Asian pussy for days.
4) I absolutely refused to fall in with you skinny jeans wearing motherfuckers that made the lumberjack look ironically cool. Go back to wearing your C.H.I.P.S. mustaches.

Their poster resembles the one that came with Dylan's 'Greatest Hits' Lp from the mid-60's, just turned upside down.
As a beard wearer, I have advice for Brian @ 1: you can avoid the first three troubles you mentioned by simply washing your face. A bit of shampoo and conditioner never hurt either.

@4. I use Dove, baby. That shit didn't make a difference.
The face sweat happened by virtue of having a lot of hair on my face and being a guy that sweats even when I'm cold. The dingleberries-- if I ate anything, it'd get stuck in the scruff, and unless I looked in the mirror I wouldn't even notice. Thankfully, I work with women who don't mind plucking a piece of bread from my face. The pho, well, that shit is just messy... and smelly.

I hate beards. Unfortunately, one grows on my face when I don't shave, which I don't do for a week at a time. So yeah, I hate myself.

Aw, c'mon, they're fun! It's like a built in scarf for those chilly mornings. Also, beards are HOT.

Whether a beard is attractive depends on the man. Also, keep those things trim. No one looks good in a scraggly beard.

I'm wearing a beard made of Bacon as we type!
and to Brian @ 5 - I do totally understand,having been bearded and,uh,un-bearded(?), many times but I'm a smart ass by nature. Take comfort in your Pho, and any woman that wants to touch your face.

Visit the site. It is indeed a nod to Milton Glaser's Bob Dylan poster.

@Reverend Z. My wife dug the beard and didn't mind the dirty pussy smell after a trip to Thahn Bros. Weird.
I'm back to the regular old goat now, which is easier to maintain and gets far less food stuck in it.
Will the goat have a resurgence equal to the beard's? Or the mustache's?

I love beards.
And that poster looks more early 70s Peter Max than anything else. Think "Yellow Submarine."
