Trim that Wild and Unruly Full Beard

I found this great clip on YouTube showing "Chuck" getting a trim of both his hair and full beard from The Art of Shaving in New York.

Though no tips are shared in how best to do this, you can see from what she does that even only clipping off a small amount can make a huge difference in your appearance. You can have a lush, long, full beard and still look nicely groomed.

Let's face it, if you want to get those who are not fans of your facial hair on your side, its a lot easier when you keep your facial hair well-groomed. Even I, the Goddess of Men's Facial Hair who loves facial hair on men, prefer it be kept clean and trimmed nicely. (Click here for tips on how to make it extra soft and silky, too!)

The Hobbit Movie: Men's Facial Hair Bonanza!

What am I looking forward to most about The Hobbit? Men's Facial Hair Bonanza, baby!

At a press conference about the movie, multiple male cast members had already begun growing their own lovely facial hair. The lineup (albeit limited) on display of hairy male faces was absolute heaven. All bias aside, every one of them looked perfectly delicious with their facial hair growth.

As for the movie itself, stills and trailers have shown a fabulous array of facial hair, sure to thrill and delight the most discerning men's facial hair lover.

Ahh, what I wouldn't have given to have been on set, if only for a few moments, surrounded by all of that luscious facial hair! Ya know I would've resorted to bribery with my delicious (and quite addictive) homemade dark chocolate brownies in exchange for some face rubbins. mmmmmmmm. It would have been a win-win for all involved.  :-)

Unfortunately, the first installment of The Hobbit is almost a year away, with the second installment to follow an entire year after that. Talk about prolonged foreplay. Sheesh.

Sadly, I am sure the bearded cast members, now home again, have shaven off all their lovely facial hair. *pouty lips* Pity.

Some of the cast members, such as the UK's own Richard Armitage, seem to routinely sport some type of facial hair in real life and in various roles, so there is that consolation prize for those of us who just can't get enough.

*CORRECTION: The cast members went home only for a Christmas break and the filming has once again resumed. It is scheduled to continue on through July 2012, so facial hair lovers rejoice! We have many more months ahead of that luscious facial hair to dream about!

Whisker Wars Reality Show and Beard Team USA

The producer of "Deadliest Catch" ("Ax Men", "Ice Road Truckers", "Storage Wars" and more) has created a new seven-episode reality show based on one of our favorite things: facial hair!

The new series is called "Whisker Wars" and airs on IFC on Fridays. The pilot episode features our friend Beard Team USA Captain Phil Olsen and Beard Team USA in the USA National Beard and Mustache Championship, as well as their entry into the 2011 World Beard and Mustache Championship in a future episode.

Over on the Whisker Wars site you can "Beard Yourself", which explains the frightening picture of myself in this post. Let's face it, chicks just can't do facial hair justice the way you sexy men-beasts can. ;-)

The Whisker Wars website also has an IFC locator, so you can find the channel for it in your area.

Please be sure to send congrats to Beard Team USA for their great job at the championships and their appearance on "Whisker Wars".

If you are in the show or have your photo posted on their site (they are running a contest-you can win a $500 gift certificate plus swag), please let me know. I'd be honored to throw some Greek Goddess love your way with votes, links and posts.
