An Ode To Beards

People who have (or had) really good beards (aka my favourite bearded men);


L-R; Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), William Fitzsimmons, Jeff Bridges, The Avett Brothers, Devendra Banhart, Sir Ian McKellen (esp. Gandalf era), Sir Michael Gambon (esp. Dumbledore era), Gil-Scott Heron, Zach Galifianakis, Frank Zappa, Ian Anderson, Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Jim Morrison, Leland Sklar, Ryan Gosling.

(I should add that C has a particularly beautiful beard)

Do you have a favourite beard?

It's the Dude! (I love that film)

My bf has very changeable facial hair and always used to have a beard, varying in shape and length according to how he felt, which was always fun. But with his new job he has to be clean shaven and he looks like stranger :( Weekends with stubble are particularly sexy though. Beard <3

My boyfriend has a very delectable beard from time to time. When he shaves it off he still keeps a soul patch, which is good because I've never gone for the totally clean-shaven look.

I love this post! My hubby has a beard and I positively love it - in fact, I don't like it when he shaves at all!
