Rasputin
Evil Rasputin did many bad things, but underneath that beard he could have perhaps been a model for Asda...

Clean Cut | Bearded

Che Gevara
Activist and respected the world over. Not quite so convincing without the beard though is he?

Clean Cut | Bearded

Blackbeard
Perhaps the most famous of pirate beards. It is a little known fact that Blackbeard had a perchant for bow ties and his beard provided the perfect cover for this once considered mamby-pamby past-time. He was once know to die his namesake pink, yet Pinkbeard had less tough undertones.

Clean Cut | Bearded

Fidel Castro
A grey haired man with a beard - transformed quite literally to.. a grey haired man without a beard. Fluffy.

Clean Cut | Bearded

Henry VIII
Arguably the most murdurous of Royals, not counting Prince Edward. Henry - not only a beatifully Rotund figure, but also copious facial beard hair.
