Arrgh! It is with great displeasure that we must cancel our July 3th sale, pirates. We be having trouble at the port. Ships be backed up, and according to our freight forwarder it may be weeks before our shipment can be offloaded. It’s already ten days late. Unfortunately, like the weather, this be out of…
Fellow Scoundrels and Brothers in Beardnificence, Cap’n Jim here with ye a horrific quasi-true story that should serve as a cautionary tale to us all. Recently, Cap’n Tanya (me partner in Blackbeard for Men) and I attended what ye might call a “trade show.” In short, this be a roomful of lying pirates trying to…
Ahoy, Mateys! Today, let’s talk not of the beauty of the beard, but how ye can ruin said beauty. Not that we’d ever do it on purpose. But sometimes even a mighty buccaneer makes mistakes. Let’s start with an all-too-obvious snafu (yeah, that stands for “situation normal all fucked up” and pretty much describes the…
Ahoy, Mateys! The Cap’n woke up from a long, rum-induced slumber this morn’ and realized to his utter consternation that half the year had already gone by. How is that possible, he wondered? The older the Cap’n gets the quicker time seems to pass. Holidays seems to come around a lot more often and the…
Ahoy, Mateys! Let’s talk about the time of year: summer – and how that affects our best asset. Now you’ve probably heard some landlubber tell ye’ somethin’ like: “Yo, mighty buccaneer, aren’t ye too warm with that cat on yer face?” Well, if ye choose to forego gutting his innards with yer hook and decide…
Ahoy, Mateys! Yer Cap’n was just surfing the interwebs to stay on top of what the beard community is chewing the fat about and noticed a very, very concerning trend: people tryin’ to sell ye shite in the disguise of informative blog posts. And all the Cap’n can say to that is “Argh!” That wasn’t…
Ahoy, Mateys! Ye may have heard yer lady pirate exclaim at some point: “oh, no! I’ve got split ends!” And then ye may have thought to yerself: “what’s the lass talkin’ about?” We are men! We are manly men! We are pirates! Certain things just go way over our heads. Ladies and lasses (should ye…
Ahoy, Mateys! In his last blog scroll, the Cap’n mentioned “Friendly Mutton Chops” and that seems to have pricked the ears of the discerning pirate, ‘cause we got a few emails with questions about those Friendly Mutton Chops. Or maybe there are many fans of that rascally swashbuckler Wolverine on this here ship, since he…
Ahoy, Mateys! We’ve been getting emails about the chinstrap beard. Hence, the Cap’n assumes some of you fearless marauders are thinking of taking the plunge… or the strap… as that may be. Other pirates may still be wondering what a chinstrap beard is. A chinstrap, in the strictest sense, is exactly what it sounds like….
Ahoy, Mateys! ‘Tis the season… the cold one. Winter be upon us. If ye have a beard and live in a not-so-temperate zone yer a lucky pirate, cause yer beard will keep ye warm. I’ve even heard swashbucklers swear up and down the canal that their beards grow more quickly in winter. (Sorry, lads, it…
