Best Facial Hair in Milwaukee

Wahl, a manufacturer of facial hair trimmers, is setting up shop at the Wisconsin State Fair Aug. 9-11. Master barbers will hold court in a 30-foot mobile barbershop to give out free trims and shaves as well as find the Wahl Man of Milwaukee: a man whose facial hair knows no equal. After he’s crowned, the Man of Milwaukee will receive $500 cash and a Lithium Ion + Stainless Steel Trimmer, which retails for $69.99 (or less). Check out a demonstration of the fancy trimmer here. The Man of Milwaukee will then go up against 14 other facial hair delegates…

The Man of Milwaukee will then go up against 14 other facial hair delegates in the 2013 Wahl Man of the Year competition and a shot at $1,000.

But it’s not just the coiffed gentleman who wins: For every trim or shave, Wahl will donate $1 to ZERO, a nonprofit working to end prostate cancer.
