To beard or not to beard- Courier ladies have their say

Do you fancy stubble? Does facial fluff do it for you? Does a beard add character?

OR

Does a beard remind you of a baboon? Or does the stubble remind you of fur on the face? Does a mustache make you want to reach out and bath the poor oke?

Well whatever it does to you, you would just have to sit back and deal with it, because it’s World Beard Day.

World Beard Day is celebrated annually on an international level with people from every nation and continent gathering together with their beards. It is held on the first Saturday of September and is characterised by the happiness of all people being with their beards and with each other.

On World Beard Day, it is customary for the bearded members of a family to relax and partake in no jobs or chores. The beardless members of the family traditionally show their support by waiting on the bearded hand and foot. World Beard Day is all about promoting and elevating the global status of the the beard. While many countries and cities practice World Beard Day customs specific to their own region, shaving on World Beard Day is universally considered to be highly disrespectful.

With this in mind, the Courier ladies shared their thoughts on the day:

Hlengiwe Makhoba

Yes I love a beard on a man, as long as it is well kept. It should be clean, combed and not too bushy and look like an Anaconda is about to pop out of the Amazon Jungle.

Ronica Kaloo and Vanya Greyling:

Ronica Kaloo: I like and don’t like beards. My husband looks sexy with a beard and just as awesome without one.

Vanya Greyling: I personally don’t like a beard on a man, a little facial hair is not a problem, but a full face of hair isn’t attractive to me. Some men also don’t know how to maintain it and they look unkept.

Sithembile Zulu

I don’t mind beards as long as its well-groomed.
