Brent Pankhurst on growing a beard
-Most importantly, keep things neat. Use clippers and be sure to shampoo and moisturize regularly to prevent things from getting too funky.
-A beard grows about 5 inches each year.
-A beard should be on your face, not your neck. Anything on or below your Adam’s apple should come off. So should anything above an imaginary line drawn from the corner of your moustache to the top of your sideburns.
-The longest beard ever recorded was grown in Norway and was 17.5 feet long. It’s now on display at the Smithsonian in Washington DC, and parts of it are over 100 years old.
-Goatees are never acceptable. Never.
-A fear of beards is called Pogonophobia.
- Brent Pankhurst is the director of the grooming salon at Alfred Dunhill and FQR’s male grooming specialist
