For some years now, we have witnessed a real revival of the long beard. It was an overwhelming return to the beard look that was so popular in the 70s, which caused an exponential growth of barber shops and an increase of beard grooming kits available on the market.
After decades of fighting the superfluous fur where the bearded man was considered extremely demodé, men have revalued one of the historic emblems of masculinity and have taken it back. Beard look has conquered especially the youngest, now more and more proud to show off their long beard everywhere. This trend seems not to decrease, indeed according to a research conducted by a famous razors brand, out of 6,500 European men interviewed, 54% stated they will continue to wear long beards in the coming years feeding the trend.
