“The moustaches are glorious, glorious. I have cut them short, and trimmed them a little at the ends to improve their shape. They are charming, charming. Without them, life would be a blank.” - Charles Dickens
These could be the enthusiastic words of a modern day, style conscious Londoner returning from a trip to the barbershop, but they were in fact written some 174 years ago by Charles Dickens. Considered the greatest novelist of the Victorian era, he was very much a man of his time. As the nineteenth century progressed, so too did gentlemens' invigorated interest in facial hair. Whether Dickens helped to create this Victorian beard craze or was simply a keen participant is up for a debate. But he is undoubtedly credited with another Victorian resurgence, the outcome of which is very much evident to this day… In 1843 he released A Christmas Carol.
