His beard is so awe-inspiring as to deserve a second look:

Do you have a fabulous beard (or a passable fake) and are you a writer?
The soulful gaze is optional, but it does help.

Yes on all counts. It’s visible on my “about me” page. Do I get a sash? I’ll prepare my acceptance speech.

Haha! Not that I am doubting your beard care advice. I am sure it is spot-on.
Actually, I am totally open to the idea of a bearded writer(s) related guest post. It could be lots of fun!

Just thinking . . . what do you have for the women folk?

You know, I’ve been trying to come up with something for the ladies…It’s hard, though. Many, many 19th-century male writers had epic beards, so that was a no-brainer for me. But trying to find an aesthetic thread between women writers is proving to be quite difficult.
