Beards Return to Respectability Says News Column
Ward Cannel reports that beards are back and labeled respectable across the nation from New York to Los Angeles. Experts note most modern beards are bushy and unrefined, with style lagging behind. The piece traces beard history from Lincoln to Arthur, cites a 19th century safety razor impact, and highlights adult beard education led by the Associated Master Barbers and Beauticians of Colorado. It quotes safety razor reps and a veteran barber on the potential boom for barbering and blade sales.
