"Beard" by Gadd, Carl-Johan

Beards have existed for as long as humans have walked our planet. In modern times, beards have been consciously grown or shaved off based on various fashion trends. Sometimes long full beards have been the hottest, sometimes really bushy moustaches, and in the 70s, sideburns were all the rage. Vikings had them, fishermen have them, not to mention the forefather of beards, Jesus. Beards have simply always been cool. More recently, beards have even seen a resurgence; hairy chins are now the height of fashion.

Reviews:

"Anyone interested in hair (I'm disregarding what might be on your head and how it should be treated) will have their interest fully satisfied with this book. (...) Well-drawn illustrations make it easier for the reader to choose what they desire in terms of hair."

Erika Storme Martinger, BTJ-häftet, no. 11 2017.

"A must for anyone with facial hair!"

QX Magazine, August 2015

"A simple and clearly illustrated mapping of everything from irritated skin to more or less advanced styles. Small signs indicate when a beard type is considered extreme (space beard) and you get to read words of wisdom such as 'A slightly more well-groomed and combed lumberjack always goes down well in homes and even in the big city'."

Olof Åkerlund, Sydsvenskan, August 3, 2015

"Comprehensive guide on how to care for your hairy chin, cut different styles, and style your hair beautifully."

Icakuriren, September 2015

"Three-day stubble or a mop moustache? Whatever dad beard you're rocking, you'll get guidance here."

Vi föräldrar, September 2015

"For those who don't want to be caught with their beard in the letterbox (...) the newly released book 'Skägg' (Beards) can be a good book tip. (...) In the book, [the authors] go through various products such as razors, straight razors, foam, and beard shampoo. They show which beards suit which face types, and they provide tips regarding, for example, cuts, ingrown hairs, and shaving the cheekline. And of course, they provide a thorough review of the different beard styles available."
