Sep First Saturday: World Beard Day

Every September, the luxurious landscape of facial hair becomes an annual event on World Beard Day!

Whether scruffy or carefully groomed, all those beard bearing persons step forward to celebrate the day. World Beard Day encourages competition between the bewhiskered. For those who have none, well, be prepared to pamper those who do or make yourself scarce.  The mighty beard goes the spoils.

The beard has been the symbol of manliness since time out of mine, close trimmed, full and properly manicured, even wild and bushy and out of control, the beard stands supreme. It has stood for many masculine virtues, including wisdom, strength, high social status, even sexual prowess, especially in warrior cultures.
