Bas that’s an amazing list! This competition just got interesting :)
Also Gianluca Fiorelli has the best avatar beard image, and is notable for his status at the top of the SEOmoz user list.
I nominate Steve Logan, Senior Writer here at Koozai. That man’s beard is the stuff of champions.
You forgot about Seth Godin…. oh wait…. thats a different blog post altogether.
hehe yeah, when’s the balding guys? I stand a chance there ;)
Hehe,You do! Recognition needed all round. We’ll have to arrange a vote for the other end of the facial hair spectrum.
LOL
Definitely Ralph (Fantomaster) without any competition there!
What about Alan Sugar? His designer stubble is epic! Can’t beat the rough and rugged look!
Ooh one more to add to the nomination: Barry Schwartz
