Milton Bradley, who initially sold pictures of celebrities, faced a significant setback when his top-selling lithographs of Abraham Lincoln became outdated due to Lincoln’s iconic beard. As a result, customers demanded refunds, rendering Bradley’s entire stock of lithographs worthless. To recover from this loss, Bradley decided to pivot to selling board games. It’s worth noting […]
The Half Beard Is the Latest Male Fashion Trend That Is Puzzling To Us
In the good old days, sometimes trends used to take a really long time to get from one part of the country to another.
A hip, new fashion in New York City? Well, it would appear in Kansas about three or four years later.
But things sure have changed in that regard.
Every single worldwide trend can be zapped and transmitted around the globe in a matter of seconds…and sometimes we end up with really weird things like what you’re about to see.

You look for yourself and be the judge.

And the half beard really amps up the intensity.
2. Black and white for artistic effect.
I see what you did there…
3. This thing has some LENGTH.
How long have you been growing that beauty?

Even if his facial hair looks kind of ridiculous.

Mr. Incredibeard Takes His Crazy Beards to the Next Level
This is some next-level sh*t that you’re about to lay your eyes on…
I know that “beard culture” is really popular, but a fella who calls himself “Mr. Incredibeard” stands head, shoulders, and whiskers above the rest.
His facial hair is large and in charge and he’s able to twist, bend, and transform his epic beard into things I didn’t even know were possible.
The man is truly a pioneer…and these pictures prove it!
Are you ready to see some things you never thought you’d see before? And that you, frankly, won’t be able to UNSEE?
Let’s take a look!
1. I don’t even know what to call this thing.
It’s actually kind of disturbing…
(@incredibeard)2. God Bless America!
Do it for your country, Mr. Incredibeard!
3. Looks like some kind of torture device.
Okay, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!
4. Are you ready for some football!
This is totally crazy.
5. A man and his (beard) pipe.
You have to admit that this guy is pretty good…
6. It was a bountiful harvest.
Family, gather ’round…
7. He’s transformed into a wild animal.
Isn’t this kind of insane?!?!
8. I can’t wait for the Olympics!
And neither can he, apparently.
9. Trapped in a beard cage.
Will he find a way out?
10. Care for a spot of tea.
That’s…kind of disturbing…
11. What’s your favorite dinosaur?
I bet this work of art took a while.
How about you, huh?
Do you have an impressive beard that you’re really proud of? I mean… not as impressive as THIS guy… but do you?!?
If so, please share some photos with us in the comments!

Christmas Beard Lights Are Here. Go Ahead and Embrace It!
Trends come and go throughout the years. What’s hot one minute is considered pretty lame a minute later. It can sure be hard to keep up, am I right?
Well, here’s one trend I hope sticks around for many years because 1). It’s pretty hilarious, and 2). It’s quite festive! A company called Firebox sells Christmas lights for beards, and I have to say, this may be the best idea I’ve seen in quite a while.
Not enough room in your living space for a tree? Make your face fuzz festive instead and bring Christmas with you…
Posted by Firebox on Monday, November 19, 2018
The lights can be nestled comfortably into your bushy beard, and the battery pack is small enough to fit in there and not cause you any issues, so everybody’s a winner here!
Firebox also has some other fun accessories for your beard, such as the Disco Beard Kit, the Snow Beard Kit, and the Christmas Tree Beard Kit.

The reviews don’t lie, either:
“Absolutly [sic] hysterical and was one of the main talking points during Christmas in our house. Lovley [sic] bright LED’s, good functions and apparently the clips were comfortable!”
“Bought as a joke gift for Christmas for my daughters husband who has a very bushy beard. Thought the kids would love it.”
“Brilliant product, bought for my hairy son. Lit up his night shift!”
Also, there are some other companies out there that sell similar products if you want to shop around. One thing fellas: you gotta grow your own beard, so get going on that, okay?
It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Are you gonna get in on this trend? If you do, you’ll be “lit”. Get it? If you do this, let’s see your photos in the comments!

A beard transplant procedure…
A beard transplant procedure takes an entire day, and can run up to $10,000 for a full beard. The doctor and technicians remove hair strands with the follicles intact from another part of the body — usually the bottom of the back of the head. It’s moved to where it is wanted on the face
Scientists Say Beards Keep You Healthy and Handsome
I mean, as a bearded fella myself, I might be a little biased about this but I, for one, couldn’t be happier about this news.
A study from the University of Southern Queensland, Australia, found that men who have thick, rugged beards receive benefits that make them healthier and more handsome.

In what must have been a very strange sight, the researchers left mannequins in the harsh Australian outback and studied the results. Some of the mannequins had beards and some were bare-faced. The study found that the beards blocked 90 to 95% of harmful ultraviolet rays on the mannequins from the blazing sun. This help beards reduce the risk of skin cancer in the skin they cover.
But don’t think you can just get by with a little stubble. One of the researchers said,
“Facial hair has an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of anywhere from 2 to 21. The percentage of UV blocked to the skin depends on the thickness and angle of the sun…Provided the beard is of reasonable thickness, I do not think there is a need to slather sunscreen over the beard due to the protection it provides. It has to be a thick bushy beard and not just stubble.”

Having a large beard also protects the face from irritants and can keep the face youthful by retaining moisture and blocking harsh wind.
Bottom line: embrace that beard of yours if you have one! It’s good for you!

A few weeks before Abraham Lincoln was elected president, 11 year old Grace Bedell sent Lincoln a letter encouraging him to grow a beard, writing, “All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you…” By the time of his inauguration, Lincoln had a full beard. 00

A sailor who wishes to grow a beard in the Royal Navy has to submit a ‘permission to stop shaving’ form. He is then allowed two weeks to ‘grow a full set’ before he presents himself to the Master at Arms who will decide if his beard looks stupid or is respectably full enough to be permitted.
