Who was David Dade?
Dave has been the Honorary President of the Club for the last five years and has extensive knowledge and experience in the field of facial hair. He has actively participated in beard competitions around the world, showing his passion for the art of grooming and styling.
In his recent return from the World Beard and Mustache Championships in Stuttgart, Germany, Dave kindly shared his insights and enthusiasm about facial hair. His journey with his own beard began around the age of 19 when he grew his first beard, albeit not very thick at the time, accompanied by a modest moustache.
Since 1985, Dave has made the decision to stop shaving altogether, except for his well-groomed moustache. For the past 29 years, he has proudly held the title of master beader, appreciating the convenience and avoiding the hassles associated with a razor. He developed an aversion to shaving because of the constant rashes on his neck and the fraying of his shirt collar.
It seemed as if Dave’s fate was intertwined with his facial hair. He believed he was born with a natural tendency to grow a beard, which he embraced wholeheartedly, respecting the natural design envisioned by his Creator.
Dave’s dedication to the beard and his wealth of knowledge will be remembered and appreciated by those who shared his passion for grooming and shaping facial hair.
