\"bearded_gentleman\"

Our introduction to Dr. Allan Peterkin happened a few months ago when we were lucky enough to interview the physician, author and professor and ask him several semi-serious questions about being a man with facial hair; the pitfalls, the perks, the women\u2026 ahhhh, the women.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face\u201d piqued my interest in being a man again. Since the divorce, the flame had certainly flickered. I got my hands on a copy and the book is fantastic. It is the de facto quick reference guide on personal style in relation to facial hair ever created<\/i>, and I am including \u201cThe Bible\u201d in that generalization as well.<\/p>\n

Dr. Allan Peterkin and Nick (side) Burns toe the line between tongue and cheek humor and historical analysis beautifully. You didn\u2019t know a beard could be \u201chistorically analyzed,\u201d did you? Read on, young brother.<\/p>\n

The book is an easy read, weighing in at 142 pages comprised of five chapters. But so much ground is covered effortlessly that it could easily be 500 pages. In terms of usefulness, it could be 700 hundred pages. In terms of making you a better \u201cbeardsman,\u201d it could be 1,000,000 pages; imagine the size of that<\/i> book.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bearded Gentleman\u201d opens by addressing the age old question about beard growth in chapter one, \u201cShould I Shave or Should I Grow?\u201d It also attacks myths associated with beards and shaving head-on, leaving the reader with an authoritative answer on things we want to know, but forgot we wanted<\/i> to know them.<\/p>\n

Then, if we were<\/i> to remember that we wanted to know them, we\u2019d most certainly forget when being in the physical presence of a man with that breadth of knowledge, a man like Dr. Peterkin.<\/p>\n

For instance, the number one myth about facial hair and styling is that shaving more actually makes hair grow faster or thicker. In fact, it does not have either effect owing to the fact that, \u201cFacial hair is dead. It just seems thicker when it\u2019s short. When you shave a hair, a once fine point becomes a blunt end, which feels thicker to the touch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t much for the book learnin\u2019 Cletus? Well, calm down, fella. There are 50-plus pages detailing every style of facial hair you can think of, with pictures.<\/p>\n

The weird shit that hipster was rocking on his facial canvas when you were in line at the post office the other day? Yeah, there\u2019s a name for that. It\u2019s called the \u201cGaribaldi Beard.\u201d From the \u201cFreddie Mercury\u201d to the \u201cThe French Fork,\u201d there are images of each, alongside descriptions of how to achieve the look.<\/p>\n

The book also addresses the social stigma associated with facial hair and what is socially acceptable in a classic Q&A format. For example, \u201cBoth my dad and my dentist now have goatees. Should I shave mine off?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face\u201d is the perfect gift for the man in your life, or your mother-in-law who rocks a grey-haired goatee and is seemingly oblivious to it, though it makes everyone else around her so uncomfortable, they can\u2019t even stand to look at her.<\/p>\n
