JANUARY 1st is NATIONAL NO SHAVING DAY
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that 2022 is set to start with the highest numbers of beard wearers since 1945, after significant growth of beards in working from home restrictions.
National No Shaving Day takes place on Friday 1st January.
The BLF says numbers are set to mark the day by starting a beard similar to Beard of the Year winner Michael Rosen.
The hirsute campaigners say that 1st January is the best day in the year to start a beard. With many celebrating until the early hours the last thing most want to do in the morning is to shave. As it is a Saturday with two further days before the official working week begins the beard can be started in the privacy of the wearer’s own home.
The BLF has provided the following guidelines to starting a beard on Friday:
Step 1: do not shave
Step 2: by early afternoon, wash the face and comb through the developing stubble
Step 3: during the afternoon rub some craft beer, or alternatively lemon juice, into the developing facial hair to nourish it and promote growth
Step 4: In the evening you can begin to trim and style the proto-beard
BLF organiser Keith Flett said, Beards are set to be big again as 2022 dawns, with not only record numbers of designer beards but also a continued resurgence in the traditional organic full bearded style
