Hans Langseth
This is another great shaving trivia for you. Have you ever asked yourself who was crazy enough to grow the longest beard in the world ?
Hans Langseth of Norway grown the longest beard ever, whose whiskers stretched an incredible 5.33 m (17 6 in) when measured upon his death in Kensett, Iowa, in 1927. The beard was presented to the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, in 1967.
Apparently, this record has been broken many times in India, but no officials were able to record this achievement.
Update: Currently, the longest beard belonging to a living person is that of Shamsher Singh of India. His beard last measured in at 6 feet. He still has a ways to go.
