For centuries, men have been growing and styling their facial
hair, whether for the sake of vanity, religion, or cultural
considerations, but most of us don't give it a second thought. "The
Bearded Gentleman" is an authoritative yet lighthearted guide that
offers detailed information on some fifty specific facial hair
styles: where they come from, how to grow them, and how to maintain
them.
Among them are many well-known styles, such as the Handlebar,
the Fu Manchu, the Goatee, the Van Dyck, and the more recent Soul
Patch. But there are also those that are less familiar, including
the Horseshoe, the Lampshade, the Painter's Brush, the Landing
Strip, the French Fork, and El Insecto (a.k.a. the Mighty). There's
also practical advice on choosing a facial hair style that's right
for you, as well as insight into how facial hair has figured in the
history of masculinity, including its impact on politics, class,
and sexuality.
"The Bearded Gentleman" is an entertaining, witty, and useful
guide to facial hair styles and the men who wear them.
Allan Peterkin's previous books include "One Thousand Beards: A
Cultural History of Facial Hair," featured in "Time," "Esquire,"
and "The New Yorker."
Nick Burns is one of the leading writers on men's grooming; he
has covered skin care, fashion, and health for publications
including "The New York Times," "GQ," "Details," and "Out," and he
is author of the popular men's style blog HommeGrooming.com.
