Vancouver, I recently visited Aberdeen Center - an Asian shopping mall in Richmond. My first time there I did enjoy the experience but the most pleasant surprise was a little shop called Beard Papa’s. The only thing they sell are cream puffs (heehee) filled with cream custard in flavors like strawberry, green tea and coffee. Unfortunately the only Canadian location is in Richmond but I do suggest you check it out if you’re in the Vancouver area…and like cream puffs (haha).

Although this Japanese fast food company has nothing to do with with our competition, I am running out of beard-isms and this is the best thing I could come up with. Here’s this weeks pics:

Week 1 - Smooth as a baby’s arse

Week 2 - Super Furry Manimals

Week 3 - Get down with the beardness

Week 4 - Beard Papa’s

In a cold world, three men fight for all there is left to fight for…a warm face. This January 1st, an Asian, Caucasian and Indian will battle it out for one full month to see who is…King of the Whiskerino’s.

This New Year most people resolve to help the helpless, be more green and press for world peace, us here at The Panic Manual have resolved to try and get more hits for our website by staging a monthly beard growing contest. But this is much more than just a contest, much like “Beauty and the Geek”, this competition is also a social experiment, the only difference - as you will see by clicking on the below link, is we have more geeks than beauties.

The winner - bragging rights, the loser - shave their beard/moustache to whatever style the winner chooses and keep it for one full day.
