It began as a dare.
One of Bob Baker’s co-workers in the federal government challenged him to grow a beard for a year without trimming it in 2018.
“I was constantly growing a beard, then shaving it because my skin would get itchy,” said Baker, who lives in Greene County, Va. “She basically dared me not to shave it.”
Baker not only accepted his co-worker’s challenge, he decided if he was taking on a beard, he was going to do it right.
“I bought some beard shampoo, beard oil and beard balm, and by the end of the year in 2019, I had this really nice-looking beard,” he said. “It was about seven inches long — the longest one I’d ever had.”
