  3. YOUR FACE: It is what you make it. Rorschach / Abstract. Stop this madness.

  4. FACT As you may or may not be aware, I’m growing a beard. So I thought it germane to deliver a survey of the beard in contemporary times. Home grown. Stop this madness.

  5. HISTORICAL CONTEXT In order to address the beard objectively, it is important to establish a solid foundation. To be sure, the beard is an arbiter of culture, class, power and piety. Deity Viking Roman Papa Papa Bear Beard heritage. Stop this madness.

  6. TYPES & DEFINITIONS The myriad types of facial hair we find in these modern times can be highly technical in their everyday execution. Here are just a few samples: La Souvarov A sideburn / moustache combo, wherein the sideburn curves downward toward the corner of the mouth, then curves upward to the moustache. The Balbo A wide version of the goatee, accompanied by an unconnected moustache. The Giribaldi A wide, full beard with a rounded bottom and integrated moustache. The Imperial A moustache connected to hairs on the cheeks, which point upward, do not curl over, and leave the chin and sideburns bare. Old Dutch A full beard, worn square and without a moustache, cheeks are covered, chin is bare. SOURCE: http://www.dyers.org/blog/beards/beard-types/ Contemporary survey. Stop this madness.

  7. VISUALIZING YOUR STYLE Though the below listing is nowhere near comprehensive, it is demonstrative of the fact that there is a beard style for nearly every day of the year. Handlebar and Chin Puff. Stop this madness.

  8. YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG While facial hair is by definition subjective, there are numerous examples within the tradition of clear transgressions against the form. To wit: Epic facial #fails. Stop this madness.

  9. SURRENDER TO THE HIPNESS Urban Dictionary defines hipsters in part as “a subculture (with) an appreciation of art and indie-rock...” blah blah blah. They like facial hair. Two examples: Accidental Hipster: Paul Bunyon Original Hipster: Sir Paul Key Identifyers Skull cap Knowing smirk Flannel Shirt Beard Key Identifyers Coffee Ugly sweater Photography habit Beard SOURCE: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hipster Identifying traits. Stop this madness.

  10. BROOKLYN vs. BROOKLYN Hipster or Hassid? An eternal question, and one that I frequently ask myself while strolling the favored borough of the young and hip. Let’s watch: If confronted by either of these elusive species, in their native environment, would you, if pressed, be able to tell the difference? Blurring the lines. Stop this madness.

  11. POINTS FOR ORIGINALITY Whatever the reason, Northern European men with complicated beards get a lot of credit for all of their hard work, proving that a beard can be a labor of love: This takes skill: Star man The genuine article: Octopus face Age: 39 Beard age: 5 Nationality: Dutch Occupation: n/a Age: 67 Beard age: 67 Nationality: German Occupation: Cobbler Strange days. Stop this madness.

  12. CONCLUSION Though you may not be aware, your facial hair is a conversation starter. So use it for good, not evil. Beard all you can be. Stop this madness.
