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.
