Guinness Book of World Records - Longest Male Beard, Samsher Singh, Patiala SOURCE: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/gwr5/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=48565 Longest Male Beard Back in 1997, Shamsher Singh of Punjab, India, had his beard officially measured at an impressive 1.83 m (6 ft) from the end of chin to the tip. This is the longest beard on a living male. The longest beard ever was grown by Hans Langseth of Norway, whose whiskers stretched an incredible 5.33 m (17 ft, 6 in) when measured upon his death in Kensett, Iowa, in 1927. The beard was presented to the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, in 1967. DID YOU KNOW? The average beard grows 14 cm in a year, and in an average lifespan, a clean-shaven man will trim off nearly 3.5 kg of whisker hair. http://www.khalsa.com/sikhnet/discussion.nsf/by+topic/DA20D0A66ADC95E5872570CB00518C78!OpenDocument Dec 29 06, 3:30 AM
