The beard is a subject of much controversy. It is loathed by many, some going to so far as to say that the beard is indeed a classic cover up for a lack of personality. While the beard has been in almost all fashion editorials and the subject of much debate, it remains one of the forms of expression still left to men the globe over. It has in many cultures a real significance and it is a signifier of position and authority. We, here at Dashing George, love the look above, spotted at a salon in Nuremberg. It is proportionally sound and adds definition to our model's face. And, let's face it...it takes guts to wear it!
Women are fortunate that they have so many ways to reinvent themselves. They can play with make-up, hairstyles and have countless clothing and shoe choices. For men, the list of acceptable accessories and clothing styles are rather limited. This is why I support the beard. I myself have a moustache and while the world may say it is 'out' to wear a beard or any other facial hair, i say, as the British do, 'poppycock'! Allow us men the possibility of reinventing ourselves too...as Madonna once said: 'Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not!'
