The Art of Growing a Beard (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780486783130)

"Although this was originally written in the 70's, one can argue it's relevant today now more than ever. For both the beardless and bearded it's everything you could ask for when asking the question 'Should I grow a beard?'" -- Die On Set
The right beard, worn well, is a mark of virility, distinction, dash, and self-confidence. This witty and practical guide extols the pleasures and benefits of a well-covered chin, including heightened attention from women and increased social and professional respect.
A great gift for the bearded as well as anyone interested in adopting the fashionable trend, this volume offers a gallery of styles to help the wearer find the one best suited to his face and personality. Experienced counsel on selecting, growing, and caring for beards includes shaving techniques--accompanied by advice for getting through the awkward growing-in phase with dignity--and tips on everything from grooming to eating and kissing.
