The Handlebar, the Fu Manchu, the Van Dyck, the Horseshoe, the Lampshade, the Painter's Bush, the Landing Strip, the French Fork, the Soul Patch ... for centuries, men have been growing and styling their facial hair, whether for the sake of vanity, religion, or cultural considerations, but most of us don't give it a second thought. This book is an authoritative yet lighthearted guide that offers detailed information on some fifty specific facial hair styles: where they come from, how to grow them, and how to maintain them. There's also practical advice on choosing a facial hair style that's right for you, and insight into how facial hair has figured in the history of masculinity, including its impact on politics, class, and sexuality.
