[edit] Photograph

How about a photo of a beard that is real, rather than drawn?

[edit] Not Mennonites, Amish.

Most Mennonite denominations have their men clean shaven. Amishmen, however, wear the chin curtain. They start to grow the beard as soon as they are married, but never before so. The mustache is shaven because of a long standing tradition. Namely, in Europe the mustache used to be associated with the military and the Amish are strict Pacifists.
