A Beard King & Queen Are Coming to 'Shark Tank'
Founded by married entrepreneurial team Nicholas and Alessia Galekovic, Beard King is a brand that specializes in all things beards, with the tagline "With a great beard comes great responsibility." Well, this week Beard King is coming to Shark Tank , armed with their Beard Bib. As the name suggests, it's a bib designed for catching any wayward hairs during the messy beard-trimming process.
It's a fairly simple and straightforward product — constructed from a sheet of plastic, the Beard King comes armed with little hooks that attach it to your mirror to form a kind of beard-catching pocket. It also includes a drawstring storage pouch emblazoned with the regal logo (for further hair containment), as well as an "easy flap shoot disposal" (which, as far as I can tell, means that you can fold the bib into a makeshift chute to dispose of the collected beard trimmings).
If that sounds like something you need in your bathroom, the Beard Bib is available now in two colors (no-nonsense black and white) on the company's website for a fairly reasonable $30. You can also purchase the Beard Bib as part of a package deal called the King Kit, along with beard oils and a beard brush, for $65. In addition to the Beard King website, their products are sold in several select retailers internationally on three different continents, including everywhere from Leusden, Netherlands, to Chino Hills, California.
The Beard King products seem fairly straightforward and utilitarian, but you may be interested to know that the online store also has a Beard Queen section. It sells some logo-emblazoned baseball-style T-shirts and beanies, and also (IMHO) some seriously cringe-worthy underwear. I'm doing my best not to throw too much shade here, so I'll just let the images speak for themselves:
Place Beard Here Black Thong, $13, B eard King
I mean, no disrespect to cunnilingus, but this thong is kind of horrifying, no? At any rate, it's definitely not Beard King's main event, and I can't quite see the Galekovics invoking it as a major player of their big pitch on Shark Tank, so maybe we can just pretend it never happened.
What do you think of Beard King? Genius? Basic? Bro-heaven? At any rate, it'll definitely be interesting to see how the Sharks react — especially if the Galekovics bring more than bibs.
