Zanderic's Guide to a Perfect Beard.
*******************************************
The first thing you need to understand when grooming your beard is that,
your beard reflects the man behind it. A dirty beard is a sign of a dirty
man. I know every man wants a good strong beard that will make the ladies
flock to them like Torkalen to a goat, but not all of us can. If you want
to impress the ladies, just listen to me and soon enough you will have a
beard you can be proud of.
The first step to getting a great beard is growing one. Us gnomes begin
growing ours only a few days after birth, but I know that there are some
dwarves and perhaps even some elves out their looking for some advice. So
if you want to increase the length of your beard, a weekly trimming will
help lengthen and strengthen. If your beard is too short or nothing but
peach fuzz, then perhaps you should try my secret family recipe for beard
growth.
- 1 bottle of whiskey
- 1 oz of spriggan blood
- 1 pinch of dust from the elemental canyon
- 1 tail of a squirrel
First you mix the spriggan blood with the dust from the elemental canyon.
This will create a paste. Remove all the hair from the tail of the squirrel
and past it to your face with the mix you made earlier. The paste may burn,
but that is telling you it is working. Drink the bottle of whiskey to
relieve the pain. When you wake up the next morning the fur will be
securely stuck to your face.
Once you have a respectable length for your beard, the next thing you
have to worry about is cleanliness. If you are one of those honorable men
with lengthy beards you will need to comb and groom it every day. Trust me
on this one. There is nothing more painful then a beard with knots in it.
A daily washing will keep all the bugs and dirt from building up. And if
you are a festive man like myself you don't want that after ale smell on
your face.
The last and possible most important aspect of proper beard upkeep is
style. Once your beard grows to be as respectable as mine, you have no
choice but to braid it so to prevent it from dragging on the ground. If you
like a good ribbon or perhaps some shiny beads can really bring the shine
out in your beard. It is important to mix and match colors and styles,
appropriate with your current attire. I like to use either mithril or blue
sapphire ribbon to emphasize my eyes bluish grayish eyes. In addition to
the style, braiding adds allot of strength to your beard. Anyone who has
young ones and a beard can tell you how important it is to have a good
strong beard.
A great beard can be the ultimate emphasis to your personality. If you
are going to grow a beard, do it right. Always remember that your beard
reflects the man behind it.
