Beard Liberation Front urges hirsute to wear masks

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has urged the hirsute to wear masks on public transport and in shops.

The campaigners say that there has been considerable misinformation about wearing masks with a beard.

For general use in public medical standards masks are NOT required. Hence there is no requirement to trim or shave the beard.

The Guardian (22^nd July) has suggested that wearing a mask with a beard could ‘irritate the skin’ and suggested a number of commercial products to address the matter.

The BLF says there is no evidence that this is true but it is always a good idea to keep the beard supple by occasionally marinating it briefly in a glass of imperial stout.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, if you’ve got a beard you need to wear a beard on transport and in shops. It’s a matter of social solidarity right now
