Today’s random facial-hair-related piece of coolness: The Longest Way is a guy who planned to walk from China to Germany. That in itself isn’t all that relevant (although it is awesome), but he has a time-lapse video of his beard.

Also, he stopped about a third of the way through the planned trip (but still having walked across most of mainland China) and caught a plane home, because he decided that what he really wanted to do was go to university. That… is also interesting.
