Ahoy Mateys of the Cap’n! I was asked to give my five doubloons worth of an opinion on the subject of beards and how the lasses might feel about them. My unequivocal opinion on the subject is: well, it depends! Look, swashbucklers, many men wear a beard nowadays (and some women, too). Beards are the…
Ahoy, Mateys! Us bearded dudes seem to be everywhere these days! Ye walk down any street in any city in any part of the world and what do ye see? Beards and beards galore. From three-day stubble to Santa Claus full, from handlebar mustache to refined goatee, we are everywhere. And, mateys, as someone who…
Ahoy, Mateys! It seems that our fellow pirates feel like they need to walk the plank when they gape into the mirror and suddenly see the wintry forest sprouting on their faces. The Cap’n knows what that feels like. After all, it’s why the Cap’n created Blackbeard for Men. Many lads have asked the Cap’n…
Ahoy, Mateys! Do you know what will happen next Tuesday? That’s right! It’s the beginning of November… or, as all of us pirates know, Movember.

Ahoy, Mateys! Once in a while, us pirates need to shape our beards. Ye know, if we go maraudin’ or if it’s a holiday or if we’re breaking bread with a pretty lassie it’s good to groom. The problem with groomin’ that magnificent facial hair of ours is that sometimes those little red pustules appear…
Ahoy, Mateys! Our beards are our best assets. They make us look good and give us that masculine, pirate-y charm we crave. (Also, the lassies love stroking those beards.)

Ahoy, Mateys! Let’s talk about those little flakes — and no, I’m not talkin’ about cornflakes — but about those tiny white specks that sometimes show up in yer beard (other than the occasional food particles).

Ahoy, Mateys! The Cap’n often talks about how ye can best take care of yer best asset. Today I wanna tell ye about some of the mistakes ye can make when takin’ care of yer beard. After all, as they say, ye learn a lot more from yer mistakes than ye do from yer successes….
