Don't Shave, You Knave!

Hey beard growers, we hope Movember is get hairy for ya! :D> No crazy updates today, folks. Just lettin' you all know that our Don't Shave Beard Tees are still on sale in honor of this month! Today we'll be updating our website and working on a new line of beard tees for you guys. There's no such thing as too much beard. ;)>

Keep on growin' on! :)>

Even Mr. Clean isn't Shaving Clean

Movember continues, beardians!

To reiterate, this is what NOT to do this month:

Everyone is getting in on the growing game, guys. The movement on men's health is on the rise! Even Mr. Clean himself is supporting awareness this month. Check it out!

"For the first time in 54 years, the iconic Mr. Clean character forgoes his trademark, clean-shaven face and grows a moustache to change the face of men’s health.

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but in November, at the ripe old age of 54, Mr. Clean is defying the cliché by growing out a moustache for the very first time. Mr. Clean is putting away his razor for a good cause - to help raise awareness and funds for cancers affecting men. Mr. Clean is excited to be a Mo Bro and is calling all fans to join the fight by signing up to be on his Movember team.

As a Movember ambassador; Mr. Clean will give frequent updates on his Facebook page, posting pictures of his gradual moustache growth.   He will encourage husbands, brothers, sons and fathers everywhere to get their annual health checkup and to know their family health history.

 “Prostate and other cancers have touched the lives of millions of men, families and communities”, said Jeff Pierce, External Relations Manager at P&G. “We are delighted for Mr. Clean to join the movement and recruit Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to join us in raising awareness for this important cause.”

Over the years, Mr. Clean has been an integral part in households across the globe. Known as Flash in the UK, Don Limpio in Spain and Mr. Propre in France, he has entered the hearts and homes of many and has become a household name. From producing ground breaking products like the Magic Eraser to being the first liquid household cleaner available in a plastic bottle, he plans make an impact on this year’s Movember movement.  

Mr. Clean will be the second P&G brand to join the initiative to raise awareness for men’s health issues. The Art of Shaving is also supporting the cause as a partner. All proceeds will be donated to Movember.  Visit Mr. Clean’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/mrclean to watch his Mo progress and check out the Movember page, http://mobro.co/mrcleansmobro, to join his team or support the cause."

We here at The Beard Face are continuing the sale this month of our "Don't Shave" tees so you beardies can rep this most magnificent month in style!

Grow on, you bearded wonders! :D>

Don't You DARE Shave that Beard

No Shave November is here! Rejoice all you bearded masses, for this is the month that no one can give you any sort of guff whatsoever about your scruffy chin-locks. Not only is this an opportunity for your beard to flourish, it's a chance to support a worthy cause by raising awareness and changing attitudes and habits relating to men’s health. That and the fact that it's fun on a bun to see how close we can get to wizard beard status by the end of the month. Break out the cameras, folks! :)>

If anyone, and we mean anyone, starts complaining about your magnificent, growing (and soon to be flowing) beard, just pop in your iPod and drown them out with this:

And then don't shave. You're welcome. We support you, furry friends. :)>

I'm sure you all were expecting this sale this month, and your anticipation has been rewarded! Don't Shave Tee is on sale this week! Get one now and wear it all flippin' month. And then the next month. And the next. We're just suggesting, of course. ;)>

Beardless Halloween? Problem Solved.

Greetings, all you bearded and un-bearded! Halloween approaches! A few weeks ago we gave you a stellar list of bearded beauties to dress as for Halloween if you already had a nice lookin' beard, but this week is for the shaven ones.

You know who you are. You had to go to some wedding, or were at a bonfire and leaned in a little too close, and now the hairs on your chinny-chin-chin are goney-gone-gone. Don't worry, my friend. There is hope for you yet, for we know that every man (and possibly woman) truly wants a ravishing wave of locks upon their noble jaw. So here are our favorite selection of chin-wigs just for all of you. Wear them proudly. Wear them well. :)>

You're a wizard, hairy.

Hey, bro, sweet tat. Let's play Gamecube.

I'm so dastardly I cut this out myself.

Tarzan and I went to a killer toga party last night.

Undoubtedly the most flannel "Where's Waldo" we've ever seen.

The only thing scarier than this felt beard...

...is THIS felt beard.

Speaking of "being a wizard, hairy", our Wizard Beard tees are on sale this week in honor of this most magical of months. Grab yourself a big ole wizard beard and a Wizard Tee and be the Beard of the Ball! :D>

That Pumpkin Needs a Shave

Why not shave a pumpkin instead of that handsome face of yours? Better yet, carve yourself a BEARD FACE pumpkin. That way, if some mischievous hooligans smash it on the street, it's just a tribute to its masculinity. It will have inspired manliness so strong and powerful that it was truly impossible NOT to smash. We would insert a "Smashing Pumpkins" joke here, but we'll let you just imagine how witty it would've been instead. We're giving you so much already.

Speaking of which, so that you can carve your pumpkin up right, today we'll be giving you a template to stick on your pumpkin and carve out so that you too can have your very own pumpkin of extreme masculinity. :D>

For your Beard Face Pumpkin, you will need:

A knife, for the carving.

A bag, for the insides.
A spoon/ hand, for the scooping out of the insides.
Tape, for holding the template in place.
A printer, for printing out the marvelous man-template we made you for your man-pumpkin.

Send us pictures of any bearded pumpkins you make to our email at thebeardfacespeaks@gmail.com and we'll post the best right here on our site! :)> Is the template we made too easy for your master pumpkin carving skills? Go check out our t-shirt designs for a more difficult challenge. We bet you that Pirate Beard would look pretty burly on a pumpkin.

For large, burly pumpkins:

For Medium pun'kins:

For baby pumpkins that are still very, very manly:

Costumes for the Bearded? No Problem!

Hello, hello, hello, beards of the world! Halloween is drawing ever closer and closer, and we hope you have your costumes ready! You could be any ole bearded thing, you know: a pirate, a bum, an amish guy, a werewolf, a dwarf, a bearded mummy... the generic possibilities are endless. The beard is a many splendored thing.

However, if you're looking for something more iconic to strut your stuff in this spooktacular season, let us make some very well thought out suggestions. ;)>

Billy Mays

Are you a bright and shining representation of the human race? Gregarious? Lively? Do you LOVE to shout? Then this is the costume for you.

Put it together: Powder blue oxford shirt, khaki pants, an ear-to-ear smile, and a well-groomed black beard. 

Optional: A bottle of Oxi-clean.

Al Borland

What could be better than traipsing through a Halloween party as the beloved Al Borland? Sure, you could go as a plain old lumberjack, but consider this an outstanding alternative. If anyone needs something fixed, you'll be right there, plaid, polished, and perfect. "Oh, what's that? You say your heart's broken, baby? I've got just the tool for that." ;)>
Put it together: Plaid flannel shirt, tool belt, various tools, jeans, and a rugged beard.

The Dude

So you were really set on being a bum, eh? Well, fine, we'll give you an option for that too. If you're going to be a bum, at least be awesome at it. The Dude from the Big Lebowski is your go to guy. After all, the Dude abides.
Put it together: dirty t-shirt, unkempt robe, boxer shorts, sandals, and going a week without showering or grooming of any kind.
Optional: A rug that really ties the room together.

Pavarotti

Going to a fancy dinner party for Halloween, are you? Maybe you just love suits and are a little too fluffy to be James Bond? Consider the great Pavarotti in your costume choices! Not only will you look super classy, but randomly breaking into song will shock no one. You are Pavarotti, and you sing when you durn well please.
Put it together: A lovely three piece suit, (depending on your heft, a few pillows or a fat suit), snazzy shoes, and a voice like a booming angel.
Optional: Singing lessons from Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. Yes, that's a real thing.

Chuck Norris

Get your guns and be an all-American hero. Or an internet meme. Either way, you'll look like a real man's man.
Put it together: denim vest, leather holsters, body oil, fists of fury, pants, and, most importantly, a legendary look in your eye.
Optional: a rehearsed catalog of Chuck Norris jokes - think how much more awesome you'll look once someone has talked about how there used to be a street named Chuck Norris, but they changed it because no one crosses Chuck Norris and lives.

Zach Galifianakis

The one, the only, the awkward. If you thought we were getting epic with Chuck Norris, you just hold your horses, now. This is perhaps the most clever costume out there right now, and oh so easy to put together.
Put it together: sunglasses, t-shirt, shorts, roll out of bed 5 minutes before you head out for the evening, and a quirky yet lovable air about you.
Optional: baby, harness, baby sunglasses.

Zach Galifianakis Plus

Want to be Zach Galifianakis but have too many Fruit Loops and doll parts laying around? You're in luck, my friend, because this is your costume for the occasion! Just look at that sexy hair. You really can't go wrong with this. :)>
Put it together: all of the original Galifianakis necessities, doll parts, and Fruit Loops.


There you go! If you can't find something in those amazing options we've just given you, just go as our favorite: The Beard Face Fan. Head to thebeardface.com and pick up Pirate Beard or Mystery Beard and your friends will be ripe with envy.

Until next time, you meddling beards! :)>

The Beard : What a Wonderful Sound

Music is in the hair, my friends. Many of you probably have heard of a little Australian band called The Beards, but we're a little late to the party here at The Beardface. Our ignorance is your gain in this case, beardites! All of their songs are about beards, and they couldn't do the facial haired world more proud with the magnificence of their music. Check them out:

This little ditty is our particular favorite today and in honor of every wizard needing a beard, we're putting Wizard Beard tees on sale this week! Get your magic on and rock out with your chins out! :)>

When Summer Flees, Here Comes Halloween!

Hello again, you bearded glories! At this point it's safe to say that summer is truly gone for the year. Autumn is here, and costume season is quickly approaching. In order to commemorate the end of sunny days of surf, sand, and lemonade, as well as gear you up with something creepy to listen to while you're thinking up bearded characters to dress as this Halloween, we give you Bob Denver's disembodied singing beard. Please, feel free to cringe. :o>



Now that you've sat through that surf 'n' turf jamboree, we reward you with a DJ Beard sale! If you love music (filled with Bob Denver or otherwise :)> ) this is the shirt to rock out with. All regular one color tees are yours for the melodious wearing. Rock them with your iPod. Roll with them in the club. Shimmy with them on the dance floor. Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care. It's precisely why they were made. ;)>

Catch you beardies on the flip side! :D>

Movember heads up!

Bearded, bearded, far and wide! Lend me your 'staches!

For those of you who have participated before, you probably know what time of year is fast approaching. Movember! The month where shaving is prohibited and the hair flows like waterfalls! Classy, sexy, well-groomed waterfalls, we're hoping. ;)>

We know we're mentioning it a whole month early, but for all of you artists out there, many of your communities tend to host art shows based on the beard and its glory around this time; though as most art galleries do, the dates to enter pieces are a few weeks before the actual gallery is set. It's all for a fantastic cause, if we do say so ourselves:

"During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.



On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember." - to read more about Movember, here's their official site: http://us.movember.com/

Get involved, all you beard-holders! We'll be posting more reminders for you, don't worry. :)>

For now, all of our Eye Heart Beard shirts are still on sale to commemorate all of the artistic, bearded things happening in communities around the nation! Free shipping on orders $50 or more when you enter the code SHIPFREEUS when you're at the checkout. :D>

Until next time, may the beard be with you! :)>

Eye, Art, You, Beard. Four Things You'll Need for Reading This Post.

Welcome back, beardcristocrats, what a pleasure it is to see you today! This week are are again going to celebrate the art of the beard. Let's get creative and jaunt with your scrolling mouse wheel down with me through today's gallery. It may not be the Louvre, but it sure has more hair. :)>

Yes, yes they are.

Shave? Me? Never.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a... beard.

Connected, our beard power grooows!

Beardiful.

Beard sculpture at its finest.

As if he couldn't get any more awesome.

We <3 beard. :)>

Wasn't that just lovely? *claps twice* Yes! Now, on to the gift shop!

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beard-Holder

Ahhhh. The bright Summer days are fading into Fall and the beards grow ever bushier. Like the splenderous array of changing leaves, our chin tufts start showing their true colors around this time of year. Are you the sort of man who grows it wild and full for the coming snows, follicles knitting themselves together to warm your face? Or do you take it on the chin with a soul patch, far too cool to care about the cold? Maybe you're a mustache man and let it grow out to help Bert's Bees protect your lips from chapping. However you wear it, Fall is growin' season, folks, and there's a whole lot of you making it beardable, no matter what the weather is like.

Not only beardable, but artfully done so! Check these guys out!

ART ON YOUR FACE from Sarah Ginsburg on Vimeo.

Art is in the hair. Embrace it on your face bits.

Apple, iPads, and Beards, Oh My!

 Well, beardites, Apple's new CEO has been announced. The world is a-changin'. What does this matter to you, dear beardlings?

Tim Cook is the most POWERFUL GAY MAN IN THE WORLD.

We applaud him here at The Beard Face, and to celebrate his rise to power, we're having a sale on our iPad cases. It seemed like the most obvious way to rejoice, aside from throwing our hands up in the air sometimes and saying "AYO!" Beard your bellies with our shirts, and beard your iPads with our cases! You wouldn't want to go unprotected now, would you? We didn't think so. ;)>

Although Mr. Cook is the most powerful gay man in the world, he seems to be missing something that Steve Jobs had in plenty. Observe:

Steve: "Tim, where's your beard?"

Look at Steve Jobs. Then look back at me. Then back at The Jobs. Then back at me. He has a beard. The beard Tim Cook wishes he had. Nay, WILL have.

It's inevitable that all powerful men end up with a beard. You know this and we know this. That is why we celebrate the beard the way we do. Let's help Mr. Cook out, shall we?

 

iPerfection. Bearded with Power.

Winner, Winner, T-shirt Dinner!

Okay, it's a little after dinner, we admit, but there were so many great beards to comb through we were having a hard time deciding! In fact, we ended up with a tie, everybeardy, so TWO free t-shirts will be given this night!


David and Michele, you are the BeardMasters of our contest!


David sent us too much to ignore, not that we would have been able to with this FANTASTIC montage:

We also thought that it'd be nice to give him a shirt so he has one to wear. Heaven help all you poor, shirtless beardmen with your furry, furry chests that quavering fingers barely dare to explore. That's why we exist. To fill this horrible void in your life. Not that we mind what's underneath our stylish apparel. No, not at all. ;)>

Michele sent us a photo that is both artistic and full of not only a very full and bodacious beard, but with corn dog. Glorious, glorious corn dog. Yes, Michele, the corn dog did earn you extra credit, you BeardMaster, you, and those purdy lights in the background didn't hurt your chances either. :D>

Now, David and Michele might have won the tees this evening, but we had too many sweet beards sent to us to stop there. We're not misers here, we tell ya! As is true with our beloved beards, the more the merrier! :)>

So, we have two runners up who will be receiving some rather fashionable pins. We know, we know, we're so generous. :)>

Justin sent us some AMAZING pics, and this one was definitely our favorite!

Just look at that face! What beard wouldn't be proud to wear that magnificent face?!

Michael was our second runner up with, undoubtedly, the burliest beard out of all the beards sent in to us!

He did it his way, and we are more than fine with that. We have an idea that his way is probably our way too, judging by those ravishing locks on his chin! :D>

Last, but certainly not least, we have some honorable mentions for you guys that we just couldn't pass up. All manly. All pictacular. All beard. They don't get anything but our mad, mad respect. Hopefully, my friends, that is enough. :)>

Rob was our Sexiest Beard. You filthy manimal, you. Don't ever let him shave you. 

We're talking to the beard, of course. ;)>

Sean was our Ginger Beard. So radiant. So bright. So BEAUTIFUL. 

The more ginger beards we have in this world, the better. You're helping us, Sean. One beard at a time. :)>

Michael was our Silver Fox. Our gentleman of fortune. What is he doing out on that lovely city street? We don't know, but we really want to find out.

There's so much warm wisdom brimming from that well-groomed salt and pepper chin, he is like a long lost Jedi-faced master that decided to wear a tie. What a fine complement to his beard, it is! :)>o<>

Thank you so much to everyone that participated in our BeardBattle! Every single one of you has a great muzzle full of bristle. We couldn't be prouder if we tried. Just because your mug isn't here surely doesn't mean we didn't like it, we just couldn't choose all of you. Remember, if you'd REALLY like a shirt, we have a website that sells that stuff. Seriously, it's up 24/7 and has a beardload of shirts on it. :D>

To all of you winners and runners up, we'll be contacting you shortly to ask you which t-shirt you want (or the pins we have for you) and how to get it (them) to you!

Until next time, stay beardiful! ;D>

So Many Pictures, So Little Time!

Me oh my! The beards are fly! :)>


Last week we made a call for entries for all you bearded to send us glorious pictures of your mugs, and, boy, did you! We've gotten a ton of fantastic beards to choose from, and it's going to be hard to pick, let me tell you.

To be fair, we're making one last call for entries for all of you who have been thinking about sending in a picture and haven't gotten around to it yet. You know who you are. It's probably one of the reasons you have such a wonderful beard in the first place: "Meh, I'll shave tomorrow." It's a sentiment we encourage for beardly reasons. ;)>


So, entries are open until 6:01 p.m., beardies. 6:01, folks. We're giving you that extra minute, even. We know, we know, you love us.

Send your entries to thebeardfacespeaks@gmail.com and enter the Battle of the Beards for a free Beard Face tee! :D>

Me Oh My! A Free Tee?

Beard Lovers of the world unite!

Alright everybeardy, we have a challenge for you this week! We want to see your beards.

Is it full? Thin? Uniquely trimmed? Goatee? Rainbow colored? Snap a picture of it and send it to us. You could win a free t-shirt! :D>

We're looking for your manly creativity, folks, so show off your mad, mad iPhone photography skills. ;)>

The contest only lasts a week, that's August 24th, so send your fuzzy mug to us today! Email us at thebeardfacespeaks@gmail.com.

:)>

Do you like your beard half empty or half full?

Half-Beards. The best of both worlds - clean shaven and rugged lumberjack rolled into one. Is this for the brave and the bold? Or the crazed and the two-faced? Maybe they just didn't want to run out for more shaving cream. We may never know.

We'll let you decide.

Magnificent specimens, all of them. :)>

'Til next time, stay bearded. :D>
