Can beards, moustaches and whiskers really tell us anything about history? Surely something so everyday, even quirky, can't have a history of its own?
Historian Dr Alun Whithey explores the often-surprising history of facial hair from 1600 to the present day, exploring the reasons men have chosen to wear beards or not, Tudor 'spade' beards, 60s Hippies, barber-surgeons and shelf-shaving (called auto-pogonotomy) - as well as the ever growing range of products that men have used to hsave or shape their faces.
