Throughout the course of human history there have been many great men. Some of these great men grew great beards.

We are excited to share our historical beard series, Beards of History, to highlight some great beards of history and the men that grew them.

This series is now retired, but for almost 2 years, each week we picked a beard whose owner played an important role in history.

Archived here, we highlight some of their bearded accomplishments in an attempt to showcase notable men and their facial hair. Usually the it’s a real dude who grew a real beard, but sometimes Chewbacca makes the cut.
