Male Victorian Facial Hair

Here are a few images of male Victorian facial hair.

In Britain the return of the beard (the full beard had last been in vogue in Tudor times) was thanks to the Crimean War of 1854-56. Beards had been banned in the British army until this time, but the freezing temperatures of Crimean winters, and the impossibility of getting shaving soap, led to a necessary change.

some men just had sided burns they grew them so far down their face they resembled a chop of meat so the name mutton chop came along.
