Are Beards on the Rise?
If so, how do Denver University
males see the beard culture?

rated as ‘more responsible’ than clean-
shaven men.

Travis Mason heads to
his dorm room to clean up his beard.
“It seems as though male facial hair is becoming more
popular”
“I was quite pleasantly surprised that I could grow a decent beard”
“For me, it was curiosity”
“Of course, there are quite a few poor
souls who that either cannot grow decent facial hair, or cannot
grow it at all”
“I have always wanted to try a
handlebar moustache or a
thick lumberjack
beard”Travis Holian
“I would definitely love to try rocking the handlebar moustache” Preston Thomas
“I do not have a desire to try other facial hair styles” Lior Bennett
“I’m curious about buzz cut styles” Travis Mason
“It’s ironic that I am replying to you, because a friend now
posted a before and after picture of his beard on
Facebook. It seems students are growing beards out only
to eventually cut them”Preston Thomas
“…the seventies’ cop
stashe, Santa’s beard, Lincoln or Roosevelt,
Einstein or Twain. A lot of notable figures had them.
It’s iconic”Travis Holian
“I do not think that ‘modern’ styles will be adapted as they’d be a nightmare to keep
proper. And it is very easy to mess it up and make it look atrocious”
Travis Mason
“…more clean-shaven students on campus” Lior Bennett
“Moustaches still seem to be hit or miss but beards are the new look” Travis Holian
“I have tried to grow out my facial hair and cut my hair different ways” Preston Thomas
