No Shave November has been running strong for well over a decade and has raised in excess of 10 million dollars in that time.  Started in 2009 in memory of Matthew Hill, the movement was spawned by his family to help raise awareness and funds towards cancer research.  While Matthew was still alive and battling colon cancer, his family had already adopted the no shaving movement in November and had taken all the money they had saved from not buying razors, shaving creams, and even haircuts and donated that money to various types of cancer researches.  The whole No Shave November concept is not only about growing one’s hair out but a way of appreciating that we still have the ability to grow hair, since chemotherapy  usually causes patients to loose theirs.  Now-No Shave November is celebrated world wide and each November participants progress is shared via social media with the hashtag #noshavenovember.  This is not only a "mens only" type of event.  Women can also show their support and raise awareness but n

Everyone knows the  name, he’s been a huge part of the bearding community for over 15 years, he’s one of the founding members of the Cincinnati Beard Barons, Ice Cream aficionado, father figure to clubs all over, and one of the best damn friends you can hope for.  Known for his iconic mustache and handshakes, he’s recognized in the beard community as a world class competitor, top rated judge and a first-class emcee. Traveling all over the country bearding with his wife, the Lovely Mrs Sandy Jones, he’s attended over 100 competitions and still one of the first things you’ll hear them say when they get to an event is “what can we do to help”. Like most of us he looks forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. There's nothing better than a handshake from this man, except attending an event that he is EMCEE. If you live under a rock and don’t know this man, come to Pomeroy and be sure to change that… you’ll never be the same. Beards on the Bend 2022 https://fb.me/e/24bTG11k3   Pomeroy Eagles 224 E Main

Talking Beards has been covering the "bearding" scene for almost 4 years.  We have interviewed the people who have been leading the way in competing, organizing charity events, and doing fun things with facial hair.  Just as the beard and mustache competition circuit has changed over the years-Talking Beards is in need of a change.  Scott and Aaron chat with viewers and followers in hopes of gaining some new ideas for the show and figuring out a direction of the live show.  Frustrated with Facebook and their "pay to play" formula they discuss options on how to get more reach and ability to share these great events they cover out to more viewers.  If you are interested, please SHARE our show with others you feel that would be interested in following our labor of love.  Without you-Talking Beards is just two idiots with long goatees who make fun of other partial beard styles.  Help Talking Beards be much more than just that... www.talkingbeards.com   The Beard Calendar https://thebeardcalendar.com/   Please c
