Take notes, gentlemen.
This was once the face of Jeffrey Buoncristiano. He was working odd jobs while living in Cape Cod, Mass. His face was shamefully bare.

Then, Buoncristiano moved to Brooklyn and went through a breakup. He gave his razor a respite. After seeing a hipster with a terrible, scraggly beard, he had a beard epiphany. A beardpiphany, if you will.
"I could grow a way better beard than that," he thought. The now-34 year old decided he would stop shaving.

It didn't take long for his life to change. A couple of months into his newfound beard-dom, this picture made it to the front page of Reddit. "You look like a mix of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ben Affleck," one commenter said.
"At some point I looked in the mirror and with the beard staring at me, I uttered, 'Oh, there's my face.' And I mean that in a deeper way. Like, oh, this is ME. I like this, knowing who I am," Buoncristiano told BuzzFeed by email.

Where before, he was just a lost, beardless soul, suddenly Buoncristiano's life had a hairy purpose.
