Another beard appears after years away from the spotlight

 

After a period of hiding, the World of Beards has reawoken. Its beard may be straggly and unkempt, but it won’t be long before a well manicured beard for 2008 is proudly displayed.

Expect to hear about the beard that shamed all of Germany and new beard fashion very soon!

October 14, 2006

Orbiting around The World of Beards, A Moustache Moon

September 17, 2006

andrews-tache.jpgThe World of Beards is not afraid to admit that this is a ridiculous proposition. There can be no moustache moons. A moustache is an emerging, growing beard.
