I’ve always liked having a beard. It saves me from looking about 12, it hides the bits of my face that have lost the will to stay firm, and it gives me something to fiddle with whenever the kids ask a question I can’t answer. But every so often, I realise I’ve let it get …

There’s a moment many dads have where we look in the mirror and think: is now the time? Maybe it’s the sleepless nights, maybe it’s the dawning realisation that disposable razors are a tax on our patience, but the urge to grow a beard arrives like a mid-season transfer request.

Let’s be honest: dads aren’t always known for their footwear game. A lot of us find something that works, wears it into the ground, and then replaces it with the exact same thing. If it ain’t broke, and all that. But becoming a dad has a way of dragging you into situations you never expected—school …

I’ve been through the moustache cycle myself – growing one, maintaining it, and ultimately shaving it off when life got too hectic.
