Title: Facial Hair... What to wear?
Post by: Beaudan Tocks on August 17, 2009, 03:37:16 PM
Not that it wasn't fun... but I just went thru all 21 pages of area and couldn't find one thread about H/A facial hair...  is there such a thing?

You know you're a true Renie when you grow a full beard in July so you have all options open for the perfect... VanDyke, Goatee, FuMan, whateverrrrrr......

Any ideas or reference material?

Help  ???

I have a reference book that shows different types of beards etc. Van Dyke is a good choice. I would have to look up the title and author for you.

"Beards and moustaches were very general amon men of all classes and the fashions in dressing the beard are too numerous to describe. During the Elizabethan time the beard was a very much coveted appendage and all young men of fasion anxiously cultivated its growth."
