I’m finished with Beard Revue.
It’s been great. At its peak, Beard Revue garnered over 11,000 visitors in a day. In 2010, Beard Revue was picked as Portland’s best blog by Willamette Week. And, of course, there was some inspired art.
Beard Revue will live on through its archives at beardrevue.tumblr.com and beardrevue.blogspot.com.
My online presence will reside mostly on my personal blog and the AIGA Portland blog, via my portfolio and in nescient Twitter ramblings. Don’t be a stranger.
Thank you for your readership. Don’t shave.

Beard Buddy was formed in 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Founders/buddies Nathan & Gareth wanted to create products specifically for beards by beards. There first buddy adventure is a custom handkerchief. This face device is for when you are out and about and you need to save your beard from getting too weird.
For example, you are on a date and you get guacamole all up in your beard grill. Instead of using a measly napkin or racing to the men’s room, bust out your Beard Buddy hanky and show your date and your beard who’s boss. Beard Buddy is here for you and your beard…let’s get beers and burritos and be BFF’s. We look forward to making more BB products and growing together. Pun intended.

In the beginning, there was a goat.
Let’s just hope the goatee is over for once and for all.
