This book is for the man who is ready to look like one.

It should have been seen as a sign that a man can shave every day of his life and his beard will keep growing back. Over the past few years, we ve seen facial hair sprouting up on faces everywhere. Men want to experiment with their facial gardens, but it s not always just as easy as putting the razor to rest...

Any man will surely go back to shaving when his beard starts to itch. When a goatee or mustache looks bad, he ll shave it off, discouraged and unaware of his options. Marginalized facial hair stereotypes prevent every day, normal guys from making facial hair part of their personal style. Men have forgotten about their beards, let alone how to wear and care for them. Until now.

The Facial Hair Handbook is a hilarious and informative guide to all aspects of facial hair, for men of all ages and all faces. From making the decision to wear facial hair, to the best way to take it off, all men can finally be stylish and care for their appearance while staying true to who they are: Men.

After I attended the first U.S. National Beard and Mustache Championships in Bend, Oregon, and I saw Jack Passion's beard, I was stunned. Here was a man striding about the stage, so obviously a master beardsman and with such confidence and charisma that he had elevated bearding in America to a new level. I had no idea a beard could be such a conversation piece, work of art, and beacon of manliness. My own beard has been neglected by bad planning, poor diet, and lack of understanding. My wife bought me Jack's book (an autographed copy - and even the autograph is funny!) for Fathers Day. I read it and immediately understood that it was correct. I have begun taking a multivitamin, trying to avoid sugar, and obtaining the right soap and applying the right techniques to my beard. I owe my newfound commitment to my health to Jack Passion and his wise words on whiskers.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. It is both funny and full of information. He loves it.

I started growing out a beard as a joke for the month of "OctoBeard" A housemate who knew Jack in college lent me this manual. Jack Passion's words of wisdom and encouragement inspired me to continue growing and grooming my beard far beyond Octobeard. Remember, keep it Solid, Subtle and Sharp!

This book has everything you can think of. I have had a beard for about one year. This book has given some really good advice, products, and techniques on growing and keeping your beard looking good. This book is for veterans of the facial hair world as well as all rookies who need a helping hand.

I was down and out, it felt as if my luck was running dry, and everything I liked about the world had left me. Sleepless night after sleepless night I waited for something to come my way. It was then that I decided to quit my job and travel the earth in search of an answer.

I was on my way to the airport for a morning flight to Chi town as it dawned on me: I should get a new look if I were to become a traveler. I had barely made it past the security gate when I found the book that would change my life. I quickly refunded my ticket and went home to read this book.

I marveled at such a novel idea of writing a book about growing a beard, but there it was right in my hands. A surge of energy flowed through me like I had never before experienced. Every page I turned was like a wave knowledge that set my mind at ease and created desire in my heart. I was shelving my shaving supplies and looking more and more like a man everyday.

It's a short read and I found myself reading it over and over again, eventually taking notes as I went. One day I decided to spruce up my resumé and apply for a job I had never quite had the courage to apply to before. No sooner had I walked through the door of the office building was I offered a job that I was proud to tell my friends and family about.

Within a week I had every woman in the office asking if I was married or if I had any brothers. It seemed that every time I consulted this book it gave me the right answer. Sure enough one of those women I eventually became real close to and we began dating. As my beard continued to grow in length, so did the passion in our relationship. I asked for her hand in marriage, and she said yes! To this day I don't think it would have been possible without this book.

The author definitely knows his stuff, and my life is a testament to this. I encourage everyone who eats to buy this book. It makes a humorous bathroom reader, great graduation gift, or even a legit self-help book. It covers everything you could possibly want to know about growing and grooming a great beard from a man who does it better than anyone else, Jack Passion!
