To Be(ard) or not to Be(ard)? Is facial hair a ‘Faux-Pas’ or ‘Forte’?
The crux of this post is, ‘do men look better with or without facial hair’? Okay, maybe not quite that simple – some men it suits some it doesn’t etc. Anyway, Gillette have decided that this is something us blokes want to know and to be honest so do we, and most likely so do you! I mean, the more answers we can find regarding what the fairer sex prefer, the better… right? Read on.
The experiment is centred around identical twins Dean and George Georgiades (pictured). Gillette have set them tasks ranging from eating competitions to basically asking people face to face if they prefer beard or beard-less. Yes, this experiment could only work with identical twins!
The answer will be steadily revealed over time by watching both of their Twitter followers rise (or not) depending on which look you, the British public prefer.
So, which look do you prefer? If it’s Georgio (bearded) then follow him here: www.Twitter.com/georgiogeo or if you prefer that shaven look follow Dean here: www.Twitter.com/dino_geo
FYI we are following both, for impartiality reasons, you understand!?

Clean shaven always! 99% of guys look better clean shaven
Being a recent, and may I say, most contented, addition to the bearded community, I am reveling in the new look. I now have a regular session to prune the beard to keep it tidy with it’s continuing growth that adds to the whole experience of cultivating a beard. I am now on the look out for specialised grooming products to help nurture the beard through it’s growth. I’m sure there must be something out there that’s meant for facial hair that’s more appropriate than my girlfriend’s volumising shampoo and conditioner?!
ApetoGentleman, consider that a challenge!
JB, have you considered Beardsley Shampoo & Conditioner? http://www.beardshampoo.com
Your “girlfriend’s volumising shampoo and conditioner” is fine but any ingestion will taste foul, whereas Beardsley’s offering won’t taste* as bad.
You could also try a good quality soap – look no further than Compagnie de Provence.
*Try not to ingest!
Thank you kindly for the suggestion. Needless to say, I have made my girlfriend aware of the tastier product offering and it is for her to decided, since I very rarely try eating my own beard! Having said that, if the upper lip is not kept trim, I do sometimes end up having an alternative snack for elevenses!
