The story

I got into growing a beard and noticed that nobody in our area served the guys doing the same. Epic Beard Company started as a pop-up at a local market, selling quality beard care. Every sale was a chance to teach, and I learned as much from customers as they did from me. Once I knew enough, I started making my own blends. My wife Tab designed the branding, the product graphics, and the event flyers.

We closed the beard care line in 2023 for financial reasons. The designs didn't go away. You can still get them as shirts, mugs, and stickers.

Beard and mustache contests

Under the Epic Beard name I ran six beard and mustache contests: four at the county fair from 2020 to 2023, plus Mile 0 Fest and the Nautical Mile Festival in 2023. Each contestant took the stage one at a time to music they picked, with 30 to 60 seconds to show off while I shared their beard age and favorite products and asked a beard question.

  • Categories. Mustache only, partial beard, full short beard under four inches, and full long beard over four inches.
  • Judging. A panel of local barbers and community leaders scored style, shape, care, epic-ness, presentation, and audience reaction.
  • Prizes. Trophies, beard care products, and prizes from local businesses.
