Hello, Fauxhawk!

Well, look at Mr. Handsome here with the goatee and hair style a good hundred years ahead of its time! He seems to have had the confident attitude to match his individual style. And the rose tinted cheeks soften up the whole look some, don’t they?

Random wiki factoid: the fauxhawk is known in the Hoxton and Shoreditch districts of London as the “Hoxton fin”.

  Yep he did. The fauxhawk was big in the 2000s. And I still see it around.
  About the beard I’ve seen worse! There’s a CDV I was contemplating getting just because the guy had a half beard. He won the ‘what was I thinking?’ award lol
