Book Review: The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face

July 8, 2013 / Paul Eide

If ?uestlove and Black Thought from The Roots are into it, you know it has to be legit.

“The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face” 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, and I am including “The Bible” in that generalization as well.

“The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face” 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’t even stand to look at her.

Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest; Facial Hair And “Competitive Eating” Don’t Mix

July 4, 2013 / Paul Eide

Every Fourth of July since 1972, the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest has taken place on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York.

This year, American Joey Chestnut goes for his seventh consecutive title. He is one of three 6-time winners of the event.

And guess what- none of them had beards.

The only “competitive eater” of note to compete with any facial hair is Takeru Kobayashi with a very scant Fu Manchu. Kobayashi also won six titles, but has been locked in a contract dispute since 2009 due to his refusal to sign an exclusive contract with the event’s organizers.

Last year Chestnut ate 68 hot dogs to retain the title. Kobayashi has continually refused to compete and in 2011 said he conducted his own hot dog eating exhibition, claiming to have consumed 69 hot dogs in an “unsanctioned” event.

Canadian Football League: You Had Me At “Beard”

June 30, 2013 / Paul Eide

There’s a football mistress in my life now, NFL. And, she has a beard.

In case you’re not familiar with the Canadian Football League, it’s a league where you can actually hit the QB and put your head down outside the tackle box.

The CFL season started this past weekend and I invested a serious amount of time into watching it, considering a conversion from the NFL.

Then, it happened – I noticed the beard of B.C. Lions place kicker Hugh O’Neill, pictured above.

And I knew I was home.

Product Review: Evolution Man Shaving Cream and Face Wash

June 25, 2013 / Paul Eide

Is it a shaving cream? Is it a face wash? The new shaving cream and face wash from Evolution Man is literally both, combined into one.

In a natural progression based on a man’s need for clean skin and an effective shaving cream, Evolution Man was born. If you have to do both anyway, why not just combine them?
