Beards from Below takes the Internet's obsession with beards and amplifies it tenfold, focusing on the most obscure aspect of the beard.

Once you get past the its ridiculous premise and grungy beards, this blog is actually pretty interesting. Sure, we've all seen a gnarly beard or two in our lives, but how many of us have seen it from the neck up? Ask yourself that question, and if you can't find the answer, then you're going to want to check out Beards from Below.
