No Shave November ended, but your scruff stuck around. Maybe your girl liked it, maybe it added some swagger to your step, or possibly you were just too damn lazy to pick up a razor. One way or another, that baby face of yours has some newfound growth that you’re just not sure how to maintain. You’re in luck.
Stalley isn’t just the only guy we know to put out a track named after your favorite magazine, he also happens to be the proud owner of one of the best beards in hip-hop. Fresh off the release of his latest video for "Raise Your Weapons," we hit up the MMG rapper (and pick designer) to drop some knowledge on what you need to make a long-term commitment to facial hair.
GQ: So when was the last time you were facial hair free?
Stalley: In 2008.
GQ: What’s been the hardest part of maintaining your beard?
Stalley: Sleeping on it.
GQ: How often do you groom?
Stalley: Three times a week I’ll wash and condition it with Organix Shampoo and Conditioner.
GQ: Besides washing, what do you do to keep your facial hair looking fresh?
Stalley: I have a great barber named Sherman in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. He uses Andis clippers and a straight razor. He’s been cutting my hair for about 13 years now.
