On January 17, 1996, all about beards first appeared on the worldwide web. On January 20, 2005, all about beards moved to its new home on the beards.org domain. Today, all about beards remains the longest-running beard site on the web and is going stronger than ever on its twelfth anniversary.
Keep growing those beards.
A site visitor writes and hits the nail right on the head:
Having a beard makes you look at yourself in a different way. No one should ever grow a beard for anyone but themselves, because seeing yourself in the mirror with that distinguished look is all the approval any man should ever need.

Recently, Arthur Martins of Brazil wrote, “The reason why I grow my beard is because I really think beards are a gift (otherwise everyone would have one).” Others have expressed the same idea in feedback to the site over the years. Yes, a beard is a gift. Gifts differ, however, so not all men are capable of growing a beard. Those with the gift of a beard should share it by growing the beard for all to see.
