Dreams DO come true! I started growing facial hair "professionally" right after I married my Wife Heather and she gave me the green light to explore the true potential of my follicle powers. I started with a handlebar mustache and goatee (the musketeer). I found that I was having trouble finding a decent Mustache Wax, I tried that clubman's crap... Then I found some decent wax, But it had to be shipped from England and took forever to get.. Not to mention it was expensive! That's when I decided to make my own. After a ton of research, a shitload of mediocre batches, and an old recipe from my grandfather, I created "Fisticuffs Mustache Wax". I got together with my long time friend Charlie Halstead and shared some ideas for a label design and he hit it out of the park! Now Fisticuffs Mustache Wax is one of the best selling Mustache Wax in the USA!! Eventually the stache and goatee were no longer enough facial hair to hold me down and I knew the full Beard was the only way for me to feel complete! Once I began growing the full Beard I realized this is a lifestyle that I want to be with me forever...GRAVE BEFORE SHAVE! I immediately began researching, testing, and producing the GRAVE BEFORE SHAVE Beard product line and never looked back. Through constant support from my wife, family, friends, and the quality artwork from Charlie we have become one of the top Beard product companies around! ~Wayne Bailey
