I wouldn’t say that razors will be banned as they will be needed to shape some of these creations, but I suspect there might be a preponderance of the good old straight razor. As a double-edge shaver, am I a heretic? I note that a male grooming company is presenting the event. There will be stalls to check out if you need to stock up your facial hair care (shaving) cabinet.
There are twenty one categories in this pogonophile’s paradise including: handmade ie. fake moustaches made from anything except hair; moustaches including English and handlebar; beard including musketeer and Amish/whaler. It has to be worth a visit just to find out what some of these are. Registration is open, so if you’re proud of your facial fuzz why not give it a go? All competitors will receive a goody bag, contents to be determined but probably including product samples.
So if you’re looking for something completely different, and if you want to take your beard to town, it’s the Winter Gardens for you on the 18th August 2018. If you’re visiting, don’t forget the other Blackpool attractions while you’re here. Hopefully this event will set Blackpool up for a whiskery return in 2019. It’s Blackpool by more than a hair’s breadth.
