Beard, False This is a full beard, with mustache, and is a high-quality hairpiece knotted into ventilated lace; it must be glued on with spirit gum and can look quite realistic. Many styles and colors are available. Cheaper versions on wire suitable for comedies or vaudeville are available at half the price. These simply hook over the ears and are not especially realistic, but may be donned quickly. |
