Mason.

Name: Mason.
(Beard) Age: 5 weeks. It grows fast.
Do you miss your chin? No.
Beard grooming routine: No tips, sorry.

There I was chowing on some leftover risotto in the lunchtime sunshine when I spotted Mason skulking past. Unfortunately I didn’t get long to chat to the lovely Mason as he was in rather a rush. It was only as he was walking away that I saw the brown paper sandwich bag in his hands. What a fool I am. I’m guessing, given the set of circumstances, that Mason had just purchased himself a sour dough brie and cranberry sanger. Picture if you will the 30 degree heat and what’s happening to that brie as a short English girl wielding a camera is probing you about your chin fuzz. Mmmm melty brie, you might think. But alas! For the bearded folk, melted cheese is a lunchtime horror show, resulting in what is commonly known as ‘cheese lip’, whose scent cannot be shaken until next shampoo.

So next time a bearded gent jostles past you, bear in mind his soggy brie and free his cheese lip. Except if it’s winter; then the lad clearly has no manners.
