"The beard can be a very important part of your disguise and is always a very good supplement for masks. Beard or no beard? This is not only a question of what's in vogue or of social differentiation, at least not exclusively. The beard is rather a sign of masculinity, partially religious commandment, a sign of ethnical affiliation or political avowal or simply a status symbol. In addition the beard has many faces, virtually as there are many ways to dress it. To be beardless is only one of many choices - all the others you can find here on beardworld.com".
