Fraser.

Name: Fraser.
(Beard) Age: The chops are two months, and the rest a month. It’s still so young. I’m flattered you asked me. 
Do you miss your chin? No. Sometimes I see a clean shaven chin and I do feel jealous, but ultimately I know it’s not for me. 
Beard grooming routine: Not at all. I don’t do any of that shampooing or conditioning. I do an occasional comb, but it’s early days, it’s fine. 

Apparently my opening gambit with Fraser was ‘I’ve been watching you from afar..’ though I’m normally so entranced with beard-excitement that I don’t remember how I begin these conversations. Anyway, I don’t mince my words, I had been watching from afar. That’s because Fraser had pitched up in a secluded corner of the local park to practise his juggling and tightrope walking, the same corner in which I hide and lay in wait of such growers. Sure, Fraser is still in Phase One of his growth, but I identified his bearded mindset as he flung his multi-coloured clubs and balanced on ribbon between the trees. He was a lovely chap and whole-heartedly behind the idea of this social and cultural project, even commenting on how refreshing he found it (it’s always incredible how quickly you can go from being a total creep asking a guy for his picture, to being a respected sociologist..).

Fraser shared a nugget of pure beard-gold with us, introducing the Daily Beard to Japanese Beard Modelling, where a beard is a prized facial feature (obviously) and will command a high fee promoting products “like beer”. What are you waiting for gents? Get to Japan pronto and let’s all get mad-rich off those chin-pieces.
