Beard of the Year Michael Rosen praised for follicular safety while opening library
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has praised joint Beard of the Year Michael Rosen (with Michael Sheen) for adopting follicular safety measures when opening a new library in North London.
On Tuesday Rosen opened a new library at the Haringey Learning Partnership in Wood Green. This involved him flourishing a pair of scissors to cut the tape to declare the Library open.
Rosen has assured the BLF that full follicular safety measures were in place to avoid any possibility of beard/scissors interface.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Beard of the Year is all about positive images of beard wearers and what could be more positive than opening a library? The fact that full follicle safety was in place is absolutely what we’d expect from Michael Rosen and from Haringey which was led by one of the great modern beard wearers Bernie Grant and has in Adam Jogee an hirsute Mayor in 2021

The scissors were kept well away from the beard at all times. Follicular safety measures were in place, Fletty. @michaelrosenyes
