Top 10 Dudes Who’d Look Weird Without The Beard

While we at Foreman cannot say that a full, unkempt beard is the height of men’s grooming and sophistication, we’ll begrudgingly admit that there are a few hyper-coiffed dudes out there that we just don’t think will look right all spruced up and clean-shaven. So in honor of the latest Hollywood trend of shaving aid-neglect, here is our top 10 list of Dudes who’d look weird without the beard:

10. Garden Gnomes. It would be kind of hard to get a close shave on these guys.

9. Grizzly Adams. For you kids raised in the 70’s, you’ll remember Dan Haggerty in “The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams” and his famous bear named Ben (special props to his bearded sidekick Mad Jack, played by Denver Pyle, probably better-know as Uncle Jesse on The Dukes of Hazzard.  Any guy named Mad Jack is alright with us.)

8. Fred Sanford. Redd Foxx’s sometimes beard, sometimes goatee gave “You big dummy!” an element of surprise.  Just ask Lamont.

7. Barry Gibb. Barry’s beard is slightly more like overgrown mutton-chops but the chicks dig him, man.

6. ZZ Top. This one’s a two-fer, two totally rocking flavor-savers…and that other guy.

5. Abe Lincoln. Our 16th president; an American legend, a real trailblazer. Sure there were other full-bearded presidents (5 including Lincoln) but Honest Abe was the first and wore his without the ‘stache. (Bonus trivia: the Republican Party is historically more hirsute than their counterparts.  Double bonus if you don’t have to google “hirsute”.)

4. Wizards. I challenge you to find a wizard without the flowing facial mane. Ask any basement-dweller. Professor Dumbledore, Gandalf the Grey and Merlin to name just a few.

3. Chuck Norris. He would round-house kick us for dropping him to #3 but we’ve got standards.

2. Papa Smurf. Part wizard, part Santa Claus, and 3 apples high, he has the smurfiest beard in Smurf Village. We hope he never smurfs it off.

1. Santa Claus. The original flowy white whiskers adored the world over. Santa’s an International Man of Style, setting the grooming bar pretty darn high and the only guy who can get away with “go ahead and tug on it, it’s real.”
