Over many different periods in history the facial hair was mainly regarded as a sign of honour, masculinity, independence, power, wisdom and sophistication.
In a moment of discussions of what could be a real masculinity it seems that the use of beards and moustaches and their aspect of empowerment are more contemporary than ever.

This is very nice work, with some nice-looking men!
As an aside, I have had My beard since nineteen seventy-two. I stopped shaving My face (which was done only under pressure), between My junior and senior years of high-school.
Thank you (and your models) for making this.
