5 Great Beards in History
Beards have been part of memorable faces for centuries. Here are five famous looks from history, including one mustache that earns an honorary place.
Here’s our list of five great beards in history:
- Charles Darwin
One of the most influential figures in the history of science, Charles Darwin had a huge full beard. It was a symbol of his wisdom and intelligence, and an inseparable part of his look. In fact, it’s hard to imagine Darwin baby-faced without his beard. Did he also work on the theory of beard evolution? We’ll never know. But one thing is true, Darwin had one of the greatest beards in history.
- King Leonidas The First
The King of Sparta, King Leonidas I is always pictured with an amazing war beard. From the movie 300 (that motivated many men to grow a beard) to historical artifacts, King Leonidas’ beard is truly majestic.
- Che Guevara
His face appeared on countless t-shirts worldwide. You might be pro or against Che Guevara and what he represents, but his beard, just like his face, is a true icon of the revolution. Yet, we might speculate that there’s a good chance Che Guevara had to deal with a pretty nasty beard itch. Our beard wash would’ve helped.
- Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln’s chin-curtain beard is one of the most recognizable looks in American history. His bare upper lip makes the shape especially distinctive.
- Albert Einstein
He didn’t have a beard, but hey – if you have a moustache there are a plenty of products for you in our online store. Albert Einstein’s moustache is legendary, he was a genius, and that’s exactly why he has every right to be on this list.
