Ok, so I have no idea what this is about. This beard was found by our newest beardhunter, Amelia.

Found on Pinterest, this amazing coiff and chin cover combo had no explanation other than the word “moisturize” written in small font.  Based on my beardy powers of deduction, this man must be in his late 40s or early 50s, but he looks damn good. And that must be because he takes care of his skin.

So gentlemen take heed: The ladies (and other gents) love a man who takes care of himself. Because when your skin glows, your beard glows with it.  Insert Soul Glow reference here.

bart is a veritable treasure trove of beardy goodness, but nothing beats a beardalicious advertisement. enjoy.

Not only do they sell stickers, sweatshirts and tees, but East Bay grown Oaklandish now has a shirt for all their mustache-less Oakland A’s fans.

Now available on your local internets: The Mustache Gang t-shirt.

“In Oakland, a great sports dynasty started with a single mustache. This tee pays tribute to the great 70′s ‘staches that gave the Athletics their renegade reputation — and three World Series titles,” Oaklandish says. “10% of proceeds from this shirt will benefit the Green Stampede,a nonprofit that provides free tutoring to Oakland students during home games at the Coliseum.”

Right on.

A long, long time ago in a email far down in the LATSFB inbox rested a message about Beardyman, the two-time UK Beatbox Champion, King of Sound, Ruler of Beats and Destroyer of Dance floors.

The only issue is, he’s not super beardy. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR NAME BEARDYMAN?!?

And now for some local news:


The San Jose Sharks have earned a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs
this season -- which means things are about to get hairy.

The team is encouraging their fans to participate in a
beard-a-thon, a superstition-turned-fundraiser to raise money for charity.

Players stop shaving once they make the playoffs and continue to
avoid shaving until they are eliminated or win the Stanley Cup. Team
officials say the superstition is believed to have started in the 1980s with
the New York Islanders.

Fans are encouraged to join in on the tradition by either
participating in the beard-growing event or by pledging a donation to support
their friends or favorite team member.

The donations go to the Sharks Foundation, which gives back to the
community through youth and community programs, including a literacy program
that touched more than 25,000 students this year.

Team officials said last season's beard-a-thon brought in more
than $20,000 with more than 600 fans participating.

Those who wish to participate can sign up or make a pledge at
www.beardathon.com/sharks.

We bet the Shark Tank looks lovely this time of year, so
 remember to submit photos of your honorable beard.

Last summer, J_Lips visited Savannah, Georgia with her mother. The two had lots of fun times strolling, kayaking and touring haunted houses but also shared a new mother-daughter bonding moment: beard hunting.

J_Lips spotted this beard outside some store, near some square and her mother agreed that it was mighty. The two then returned to their regularly scheduled sweating and fanning.

This goes without saying, right?

Happy Beard day to you!

Suz found this beard at an Oakland pop-up street party after Beats Antique played at the Fox Theater. This is what the future looks like!

As a follow-up to the “Drunk bitches and bong  rips” post, it’s important to recognize the good work hairy residents of Chico, Calif. are doing  to promote quality self-care.

This framed photo was found at Farm Star Pizza on the Esplanade where, surely, beardy men were slingin’ organic and obviously delicious pies. As a former pizza mistress, J_Lips approves of this message.

Thanks, Farm Star, for being health and hair conscious. We’ll be sure to hit you up again next time the Beardhunters are in the land of red cups, drunk bitches and (duh) bong rips.

For the record, there was nary a follicle in either of our two pizza pies.

Are you looking down the barrel of several long weeks of scraggly facial hair, just waiting for your beard to come in? Frustrated with the speed in which your five o’clock shadow takes to become a round-the-clock hairy mass? Well, you’re in luck! Just take a gander at beardyman Liam’s How to QUICKLY grow a beard video and start taking some goddamn notes.

Zen master

Step one to growing a beard: hip hat and righteous taste in San Francisco-based film (way to play to our Bay pride)

Step two: Ninja-like calm and the ability to focus all energy on follicle manipulation

Step three: Cool sounds

Step four: A comb (your quick and easy beard can’t be tangly)

Thanks for the link Liam! If this whole tutorial thing doesn’t work out, at least you have the talent and credibility to join the traveling circus.  Come one, come all! See the Amazing Rapid Beard Growing Beast in action!

the suz captured this fantastic stache moment at the sin sisters burlyq show down in santa cruz. <3 this one very muchly.

Do you don the wayward pube? The Amish mash or the proto-douche? Thanks to Collegehumor.com (favorite site of the dapper douches of yestersentence), you can now forecast your stubble and, perhaps, do some much-needed self reflection.

“What font is your mustache,” asks Buzzfeed.com. “If it looks like it might be a Comic Sans, it may be time for a shave.”

Someone please make a beard typography chart, though I imagine 15 different U’s are slightly less exciting.
