Thanks for sharing these photos, and for your work on this awesome blog!
I'm involved in a charity fundraiser called How Not To Grow A Beard Month to raise money for breast cancer research, which involves the participants not shaving for a month and doing daily pictures and blog posts. This year, my posts are with a wrestling theme. I linked to the first picture above in today's post with full credit to you, and I just want to be sure you are aware.
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, men often sported spectacular beards and mustaches and dressed with pride and care. This blog is a celebration of the golden era of the masculine mystique.
