Wahl Man of the Year
Zack Brown - Marietta, OK
“There’s nothing manlier than a beard. I mean who’d you rather have change your tire — a guy with a beard, or a guy with no beard?”
Facial Hair Friendly Cities: We Went, We Trimmed, We Conquered
In 2019, Wahl’s 30-foot mobile barbershop visited the Top 10 Most Facial Hair Friendly Cities in America in search of real guys with really great facial hair. The quest involved a massive 30-foot mobile barbershop and team of master barbers offering guys free trims for a good cause. For every trim, Wahl donated $1 to ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer, the leading national nonprofit with the mission to end prostate cancer. Check back in spring for the 2022 tour schedule.

“I have a weak chin, but a strong beard. So I don’t ever plan on shaving, unless I magically grow a stronger chin with age.”
