THREADS BARED

THE BEARD

Every man should grow a beard at least once. Not overly manicured, but a big, bushy, Grizzly Adams chin curtain. Beard experts reckon a man’s fuzz reaches optimum loveliness at day ten. Try to avoid the Amish/Abe Lincoln look or anything too sculpted, but invest in a trimmer. According to the University Of Southern Queensland, a man’s beard blocks up to 95 per cent of the sun’s UV rays, so it’s not just stylish form, it’s wrinklefree function.
