Another type of beard is an anchor. It runs along the jawline, connecting under the lower lip. But in the area of the cheeks and temples there is no vegetation. Don't forget about the thin mustache. The Balboa beard is wide, but not full. It covers part of the cheekbones and chin. The look is completed with a medium thick mustache. However, only those men whose hair grows thickly can grow it.

How to choose a beard

Don't forget that a beard may not suit everyone. Here you need to take into account the shape of your face. Otherwise, you will look funny. To start growing a beard, you need to stop shaving.

In pre-Petrine times, a man without facial hair was considered as rare in Rus' as a woman with a beard. Forcibly depriving someone of a beard was punishable by a fine of 2 rubles. To understand the scale, it is worth considering that for much more serious crimes the fine was only 1 ruble. Today, the fashion for universal “beardness” is returning and again you can meet convinced bearded men, and not only among bikers and hipsters.

We are in website decided to figure out what a beard is for a modern man - a useless quirk or an important part of the image.

1. A beard makes a man look older and wiser.

Add brutality without special expenses? There is a proven recipe - to grow a beard. Research shows that bearded men are perceived as courageous and experienced people. The ancient Greeks understood this without any scientific experiments: they wore a beard as a sign of gaining wisdom.

For as long as I can remember, my dad always had a mustache and beard - short, neat, like modern hipsters. And then one day he came late and immediately stomped into the bathroom. Mom put me to bed and went to bed herself, but dad still didn’t come out. She turned off the light, lay down and was already dozing off when footsteps were heard in the corridor, the door to the room opened and someone’s body slipped under the blanket. Mom turned around and came across someone else’s “naked” face. It turned out that dad managed to lose his beard and mustache. To whom and for what, history is silent. She almost choked with horror and was about to scream, but the neighbors’ sound sleep was saved by the fact that the “stranger” managed to raise his voice. Dad was sworn to never shave his “special mark” again in his life. © Froda16 / Pikabu

2. A beard makes its owner more masculine.

3. Reflects temperament

5. Helps women like you

Even though facial hair is not related to testosterone levels, women love bearded men. Beards and mustaches came into fashion in those days when a large number of men competed for the favor of the fair sex, who were in the minority, and fashion varied according to the ratio of single men to unmarried women. Scientists conducted a study: they showed more than 8 thousand women photographs in which the same man had a beard, stubble, a small goatee, and, finally, a thick beard and mustache. Women chose those options where the man had stubble and a small beard.

It hides imperfections and emphasizes beautiful facial features. When a woman's fingers meet stubble - this is the moment when tenderness meets something masculine, sharp, you understand that you are two opposites, but you are drawn to each other. I have no idea why this is, but personally, a bearded person seems more experienced to me. Not to mention he looks confident and sane. © Tsarevna Stoykova / Quora

6. Warms in cold weather

7. Bearded men make great fathers.

Although the attitude of women towards facial hair on men cannot be called unambiguous, at all times they stubbornly chose bearded men. It is their ladies who consider potentially more caring fathers. You can’t argue with science: no matter how much women shout about “pinching, pricking” and “you have crumbs there,” they consider bearded men to be dominant, and not their clean-shaven rivals. Such is the magic of a beard. On the Internet, the topic of bearded dads has gained such popularity that a special hashtag #BeardedDad has appeared, uniting fathers from all over the world. And, of course, not a single topic is complete without mentioning thematic clip entitled "If your dad doesn't have a beard, then you have two moms."

I asked my 4 year old daughter how long I should keep my beard growing. She answered like this: “As long as you have enough strength, daddy, as long as you have enough strength.” © dexreddit / Reddit

8. A beard makes a man more patient.

World Beard Day

World Beard Day 2019 is celebrated on September 7th. Traditionally, this holiday falls on the first Saturday of September. This day unites bearded men from different countries peace. Many countries organize events dedicated to this unusual holiday.

A beard is one of the signs of masculinity; in some religions, wearing it is mandatory for men. Many famous people, fairy-tale and literary characters are also recognizable due to their beard. Lomonosov even wrote “Hymn to the Beard.”

Beards, mustaches and sideburns, apparently, appeared among men to increase competitiveness, like war paint, which visually increases status in the eyes of their relatives. Ornithologist Viktor Dolnik suggested that a person’s luxuriant hair, like the mane of old male baboons, can increase his status in the eyes of his relatives. And Charles Darwin believed that the beard arose due to sexual selection, as it serves as an ornament that increases the attractiveness of males.

The supposed connection with beards and attractiveness has been debunked. The beard is probably needed for more effective competition between men. This is because men with beards appear more dominant, aggressive, and of higher status than men with clean-shaven faces.

All mans Ancient Egypt shaved the beard. Only the pharaoh had the right to wear a beard as a sign of his ownership of the land, but his beard was artificial. It, like the wig, was made from wool or from cut hair intertwined with gold threads, and tied to the chin with a cord. This ceremonial beard could have been given different shapes, but the most common was a pigtail curved at the end, similar to a cat's tail.

Alexander the Great ordered his soldiers to shave their beards so that an enemy warrior could not grab it during battle. In the Roman Empire, a shaved face and a short haircut were among the signs of civilization and distinguished a Roman from the “savage” peoples. Emperor Hadrian put an end to this tradition. The Cuban rebels against the Batista regime led by Fidel Castro were known as "barbudos" - the bearded ones.

Exact Origin world day beard is unknown. Some people associate this holiday with the introduction of mandatory beard shaving by Peter I, a sad event for all bearded men, while others believe that the ancient Vikings had a holiday dedicated to beards.

Be that as it may, the fact remains: every year at the beginning of September in many countries of the world bearded men organize and hold holiday events, from quiet family picnics to large-scale street parades.

On this day, shaving is considered a sign of extreme disrespect. Therefore, many men who do not wear a beard refuse to shave on this day as a sign of solidarity with their bearded comrades.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the topic: “mustache and beard day”, including the latest trends.

Today, April 6, is Bearded Man Day in Russia. The day before, on Saturday, April 5, 2014, the Second Russian Beard and Mustache Championship took place at the ZaVtrA club in Moscow. The organizer was the Russian “Bearded Society”.

“Tsar Peter I signed a decree in 1698 in which he ordered that beards be shaved, and those who did not want to be charged a fee. The price of a beard was revised several times, but was always high; for example, in 1705, a metropolitan citizen had to pay the annual salary of a foot soldier for the right to a beard. Only peasants were given cheap beards - a penny per beard at the entrance and exit of the city.

Catherine II abolished the duty only 74 years later - on April 6, 1772. This day is considered to be Bearded Man's Day in Russia, although beards were not returned that day.
everyone. For example, cadets did not have the right to have beards until April 1901.”

Last year, on April 6, 2013, the First Russian Beard and Mustache Championship was held in Moscow. This year the Second Championship took place. It seems that, unexpectedly for the organizers themselves, the event attracted a huge number of people: television, journalists from print and Internet media came, many enthusiasts gathered, Championship participants and fans came.

The most came different people: young and old, spectacular bearded men and beautiful girls. It was hot and crowded in the ZaVtrA club, which is an indicator of unexpected success. The organizers joked that the Third Beard and Mustache Championship would have to be held at the Olimpiysky sports complex in order to accommodate everyone. And I must say that there is some probability in this joke.

“The Beard and Mustache Championships are a traditional series of bearded and mustache competitions that are held annually around the world. In addition, once a year a world championship is held - the World Beard and Mustache Championships, within which bearded men from all over the world compete. Win in last years mainly representatives of the USA and Germany, and there were never Russian representatives at this championship.

The Russian Beard and Mustache Championship aims to prepare participants for competition at the world level. The first Championship showed that in Russia there are real bearded and mustachioed men who are ready to compete on the international stage, but they need preparation and endurance. The championship is held in several categories: the best mustache, beard and sideburns, which are divided into subcategories depending on the length and presence of styling.”

The highlight of the Second Beard and Mustache Championship was the “Fake” category. Anyone (beardless and mustacheless, and even girls) could create the image of a “bearded and mustachioed” person from scrap materials and perform at the Championship in this image. Unfortunately, the participants (and wonderful participants) were frankly unprepared to perform in the “Fake” category. The hastily created images did not shine with the level of preparation and implementation. But the very idea of the “Fake” category at the Beard and Mustache Championship is undoubtedly promising in terms of entertainment. Well, who will refuse to applaud a beautiful bearded girl?!

The second Russian Beard and Mustache Championship attracted not only competitors, fans and journalists. Two master classes were presented: “Master class on sharpening a straight razor” and “Master class on beard care.”

The brilliant burlesque actress Alisa Shpiller performed the number “Feather Explosion”. The magnificent Alisa Shpiller, Mia Zarring and Valeria Malinovskaya have already been presented in our report “Charity Striptease hits the cold!” Don't miss the opportunity to watch via the link!

The second Russian Beard and Mustache Championship in Moscow was undoubtedly a success. In the early cold Moscow spring, he gave the audience and participants warm emotions and a great mood. Thanks to the organizers!

The report from the Moscow club “ZaVtrA” was conducted by Igor and Larisa Shiryaev. Text materials from the organizers of the Second Russian Beard and Mustache Championship were used. We thank the Bearded Society for the materials and accreditation.

The history of World Beard Day, celebrated on September 7, 2019

There is no exact start date for Beard Day celebrations. This male characteristic has long been considered a symbol of courage and strength. Among the Vikings, only those young men who took part in military campaigns or battles were allowed to have a beard.

In Judaism and Christianity, the beard was and remains the main attribute of clergy of the highest category. On all icons, God the Father, like Christ, was invariably depicted with a beard.

Among the ancient Celts, the size of a man's beard was associated with wisdom in life. At first glance, one could determine a person's learning. Ancient Druids and Magi often had long gray beards.

Deprivation of this accessory was very often disastrously shameful for its owner. There are cases in world history when bearded prisoners, faced with the choice of being shaved or beheaded, chose the latter.

History of beards in Russia

Since ancient times, wearing a beard in the Moscow, and later in the Russian kingdom, was a sign of wealth and an influential position in society. Rich merchants and boyars invariably had thick and luxurious “facial hair.”

The situation and attitude towards bearded men changed during the reign of Emperor Peter I. Following the European fashion for smooth-shaven chins, the sovereign introduced a huge tax on wearing a beard. Officials were forced to get rid of this “accessory.”

However, the reformer king never succeeded in completely defeating beards. Dissenters and rebels defiantly grew hair on their faces. And the Old Believers, persecuted Orthodox Church, and completely removed shaving accessories from their use.
