- If you have Pogonophobia,you have a fear of beards.
- Beards grow about five inches a year
- The Beard Liberation Front (BLF) objects to the "obviously false" facial hair sported by Robbie Coltrane and the late Richard Harris in the Harry Potter movie.
- In the United Kingdom, the Royal Navy allows "full sets" (beards and moustaches together) but not beards or moustaches alone.
- The U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps justify banning beards on the basis of both hygiene and of the necessity for a good seal with gas masks
- "There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women, and I am neither one."
—Greek saying
- Longest Male Beard
Back in 1997, Shamsher Singh of Punjab, India, had his beard officially measured at an impressive 1.83 m (6 ft) from the end of chin to the tip. This is the longest beard on a living male.
- With the longest hair in her beard measuring 11 inches - 27.9 cm., Vivian Wheeler of Illinois is blessed with having the longest beard for a female.
Her father insisted she start shaving at the age of 7, but since 1993 Vivian Wheeler has not, letting her beard grow.
