Growing and maintaining a beard takes time and effort that most people just don’t have—just ask Jack Passion, competitive beard grower.
They’re Winter-Ready
You never need to bundle up too tightly when you have a beard.

Many of Our Heroes Are Bearded
Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, Bill Murray in The Life Aquatic, Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars —bearded men get things done and look good doing it.

Or Nick Offerman.
