It should have been seen as a sign that a man can shave every day of his life and his beard will keep growing back. Over the past few years, we’ve seen facial hair sprouting up on faces everywhere. Men want to experiment with their facial gardens, but it’s not always just as easy as putting the razor to rest…

The Facial Hair Handbook is a hilarious and informative guide to all aspects of facial hair, for men of all ages and all faces. From making the decision to wear facial hair, to the best way to take it off, all men can finally be stylish and care for their appearance while staying true to who they are: Men.

The guy’s got swagger in spades…and that attitude comes through on the pages. That makes the book a fun read – even if your aspirations for facial adornment never move beyond the milk-mustache phase.

Passion’ is the story of Jack Passion, a man who has defied social convention and become an ambassador for the sport of competitive beard growing. Through good times and bad, he has pushed on to become the two time world beard champion. He shares this inspirational story with us and guides us through his world in a 7 minute narrative doc. He considers what his world has become due to his beard and contemplates the thought of a world without, much like that of the story of Samson and Delilah, he too faces the conflict of losing all he has become with just the cut of his hair.

I was approached by VitaBeard after the 2011 National Beard and Moustache Championships in Lancaster, PA. The company who makes VitaBeard sent me home with a bottle to try. It’s been almost three weeks of taking VitaBeard, and I’m already noticing a major difference.

It’s a fact: Even the healthiest people stand to benefit from taking vitamins. In The Facial Hair Handbook, I recommend taking a multivitamin as a way to optimize your health, because health optimization is beard growth optimization. Health is obviously a major theme in the book, but also consistency – A little bit of good every day is better than a little bit of great every once in a while.

I grow and wear a beard for a living, and not everyone who reads the Facial Hair Handbook wants to put in the effort that I do, so taking a multivitamin is quick, easy, and helps round out the healthy diet it requires to grow great facial hair. I have typically been taking six different vitamins every day, all related to beard health and growth. Do Vitamins did their research: All of the vitamins I was taking are ingredients in VitaBeard. This one vitamin covers everything you need to take to support healthy facial hair, and it’s way cheaper than doing it the individual way.

In addition to the beard growth benefits, it’s just a pretty solid vitamin to take every day. Check out the ingredients on their website, it basically reads like a typical daily multivitamin with added beard growing boosters. And the skin benefits are probably the first and easiest to recognize — My biggest recommendation for beard itch is ensuring maximum hydration (drink more water!), but now my second biggest recommendation is unquestionably taking VitaBeard.

I highly recommend VitaBeard. I’ll be updating The Facial Hair Handbook to reflect what I believe to be an absolute breakthrough in beard growing and beard health. As far as beard competing goes, this is like when steroids came to bodybuilding; Competition will never be the same!
