Retired U.S. Navy veteran Justin Hodge admits that he was anxious to start rocking a beard again after 20 years of service. “I knew that if I was going to do it, I was going to do it right,” said the former Navy test parachutist.
But he was quickly reminded how much effort it takes to maintain a proper muzzle rug. So he started the Alpha Beard Company, which provides high-quality beard-care products for all the guys sporting face fleeces worldwide.
We teamed up with Hodge and John Tims from Self-Wrought for the first-ever #BallisticBeards contest. Have some awesome facial hair you think deserves some beard-related swag? Here’s your chance to make it count. Post a photo of your beard on Instagram, use the hashtag #BallisticBeards and tag @AthlonOutdoors for a chance to win some gear and be featured on ballisticmag.com.
