The Wahl ‘Benevolent Beards’ Contest started this past April with a quest to reward guys who are making the world a ‘bearder’ place to live. The goal was to discover bearded men who are doing good through charitable efforts. Hundreds of men answered the call for a chance to win $20,000 for themselves, and $5,000 for their charity. Five men made the cut, and America’s votes will help decide the winner and our next ‘Wahl Man of the Year.’

Bearded men from across the country submitted a video of themselves either explaining or demonstrating how they support a charity. What kind of charity? As long as it was a 501(c)(3) organization with a goal to impact the world positively, all charities were considered. Five fuzzy-faced finalists were chosen, and the public has until October 1, 2023, to vote for their favorite. Check out their videos and help name our next ‘Wahl Man of the Year.’

Official Rules

Each of the five finalists won $500 for themselves, $500 for their charity and grooming gear. Things really get exciting when public votes help determine which finalist wins the Grand Prize of $20,000 for themselves, and a visit from Wahl’s Mobile Barbershop to do a fundraising grooming event for their charity. At the event barbers will offer the public FREE beard trims, and for every trim Wahl will donate $100 to the charity — up to $5,000.
