Unofficially, November is National Beard month. If you’re considering face-fuzz, The Morning News offers a run down of the basic beard styles (or Wikipedia). If the benefits of beard growth alone aren’t worth it and you need some sort of reward, I suggest working towards an entry for the 2007 World Beard and Moustache Championship. Lastly, if you need inspirational support for your archipelago nightmares, you could try visiting the beard group or the Team USA weblog.
