Beards have been a part of the male identity since the dawn of time. Throughout history growing and taking care of a beard is often seen as a symbol of manliness and strength. This dates back to the ancient Greeks and Vikings. The manliest of men would take great care of their beards and even add oil before battle. In recent years there has been growing noise that beard care is somehow not manly. However, what many don’t realize is that taking care of your beard is not only manly, but also a good thing to do for many different reasons. Here’s why:
