Talking Beards

Crystal Davis is one hell of a Whiskerina! We sat down at Worlds in Austin to talk about The Whiskerinas and what drove her to get into the “beard” scene over 2 decades ago.

What was it like being behind the Worlds biggest beard and mustache competition to date? Bryan Nelson, the driving force behind the 2017 World Beard and Mustache Championship and the Austin Facial Hair Club, joins me to talk his thoughts on how the Worlds went. We talked about the production team and all the little things that went into planning this massively successful event. Bryan also talks about some other upcoming events for the club and Come and Shave it 12.

The 2017 World Beard and Mustache Championships were held in Austin Texas this past weekend. This was the greatest event I have ever attended and I have never had so much fun in my life. It was a complete sensory overload for me as I saw so many incredible beards and mustaches, made new friends, and connected with many old friends I have made from previous competitions. There was so much to experience at the event that I don't even know where to begin! I got many great pictures and a bunch of really interesting interviews with some of the winners at the 2017 WBMC.

We talked about how AFHC was able to get the Worlds in Austin and the traditions of what the Worlds are. There is going to be a huge party in Austin this Labor Day weekend with big beards and mustaches, live music, food trucks, and a lot of good times and drinking! We talked a lot of specifics to what was going on from judging the competitors to some of the criteria of some of the categories.

Taylor Welden and Paul Hendricks of the Austin Facial Hair Club join me to talk about how awesome the AFHC is and the 2017 World Beard and Mustache Competition.

Brian Furby of Can You Handlebar is one busy guy. We spent a few hours talking about lots of beard related things and where he got his start in the "bearding" scene. We went back to his roots and learned about his fathers growth and his own experimentation with styles as her grew up till he settled with what he has. Getting involved with charity work through his Title Beard events and website to how he ended up becoming an integral part of the Can You Handlebar monster.

One of the main reasons I was talking to Furby was to have him unveil something that has been in the works with The Beardcaster. Last episode, Dr. Adam Causgrove shared that the American Mustache Institute would be sending me to the 2017 World Beard and Mustache Championship in Austin, Texas to cover the event this year. My plan is to get as many interviews with as many diverse people who are making a difference in the "bearding" community and who are helping to promote facial hair growth. Can You Handlebar also wanted to ask The Beardcaster to help them out and promote, and share, their wonderful products and facial hair care philosophies

Be sure to hunt me down while The Worlds are going on, I will have tons of great Can You Handlebar products to give away! In addition to all types of products I will have custom coupon cards with a code on them to help you save some money on your on-line orders at CanYouHandleBar.com . Brian also sweetened the deal by giving me a couple of Beard Care Kits, one to give away to my personal favorite in Austin and another for me to give away to one of my great listeners!
