2018/08/31

The vision of an animal sanctuary and a pit bull rescue were just two of the ideas of Bully Ranch, recently started by married couple Paul Hendrix and Diane Blastic. Paul and Diance, members of the Austin Facial Hair Club, have been working with pitbulls for sometime now and have nothing but love and admiration for the breed. They have invested considerable time into understanding the training and the demeanor of this often understood animal. In our conversation about Bully Ranch, we

Kenny Parbel is the President of the Ohio Chapter and SGT. At-Arms for the National Chapter of Bearded Sinners. Upon learning of who the Bearded Sinners were, my world was opened to another side of the “bearding community” that I wasn’t aware existed. Both Kenny and I got our start in the club scene at the same event back in 2012 and didn’t even know we had crossed paths numerous times. We “officially” met at the Morgan Hose VFD fundraiser beard and mustache contest, EP.71

Beards Behind Bars 2 was held a few weeks back at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield Ohio.

The best part of the evening was a tribute beard by Natali Johnston of the Holy City Beard and Mustache Society in the Whiskerina “Natural” category. When the Whiskerinas make “tribute” beards they usually pick an influential person in the bearding community

Talking Beards ·

2018/04/06

Regev Nystrom has been doing freestyle beards for almost 35 years and has moderate success with his creative designs. Episode 69 is my "sex packed" episode and I thought Regev would be the perfect guide to take us on a fun adventure into the world of the unknown. What sets him apart from all these other creative beard wearers is his natural born talent of translation of gay porn from English to Japanese flawlessly. He discovered this hidden talent years ago while working in a corporate matzo

2018/03/17

What an eye opener this interview was with Douglas Smythe of Phoenix Shaving. He made me want to climb back into the womb to incubate a tad longer to grow into true “manhood”. Douglas shared with me techniques of “wet” shaving and his thoughts on the conspiracy of the multi-blade cartridge companies. Tips galore are found in this episode with a true crafter of high quality, tested shaving products. Not only is Douglas the purveyor of some exquisite shaving items, he also caters to the bearded man

Every beard, or mustache, grower has gone through a few moments in their facial hairs life where it just drives them crazy. I am joined by MJ Johnson and we discuss the things that irritate us with our beards.
