Find facial hair inspiration on The Bearded
Not every lad is lucky in the beard-growing department – some can only manage a few wispy whiskers, while others fear their inner ranga exposed with an auburn-peppered chin warmer. But for those with happy hair cells, a hefty tuft covering their facial curves is the inevitable reward when giving the razor the flick.
Spreading the word about how beautiful bearded men can be, is 21-year-old Corey Notaristefano on his tumblr The Bearded. Stemming from a passion for beard portraiture, beards, photography, adventure and style, The Bearded is a curated collection of photographs featuring men from all walks of life, cultures, backgrounds and interests, and, most importantly, their bountiful bristles.
Australian-born but living in Leicester, England, Corey must have played a lot of The Sims growing up, as he’s also envisaged a whole world within which the bearded bloke lives – the types of places he goes, the things he does, his wardrobe choices, the ladies he dates – on accompanying blogs The Bearded Lifestyle and The Bearded and Friends, all the while highlighting some stunning photographic work. Stop by for some hairy inspiration before your next barbershop beard trim.
