I bought the book above many years ago when researching my novel. I was trying to find answers to WHY men in the 17th century were so obsessed with their facial hair.
Mmmmn. Still don’t understand. Even as a kid I “felt” that men with beards were hiding something. Dunno why!
A witty, comprehensive history of facial hair, documenting its continuous rise and fall as a trend. With style recipes, information on care and upkeep, and hundreds of pictures of famous bearded men (and women!), One Thousand Beards provides an insightful, light-hearted, and well-groomed look at facial hair.
I blame Van Dyke for the none sense. Shut up. Not Dick. Silly!
Shudder. I can’t even IMAGINE how yuk it’d be to kiss a bearded man. Never done it. NEVER will!!!!
