#FolkLore #Beards

Oi! Does anyone know any stories about prehensile beards?

10-15years ago I could have searched & found something, but now Googles giving me useless unrelated shit on prehensile feet , and Hipster Beard contests (no slight to primates or Hipsters, just not what the fuck I'm searching for)

Fuck this frustrating

In The TICK cartoon there's a prehensile beard literally refered to as "Russian beard" and "RB"

In one of the Iron Druid books there's Russian Kabalists with prehensile beards

I switched to a diff search engine but now all I can get is #Pathfinder related discussions about the prehensile hair Witch hex

Garbage articles on hair that I suspect are just AI generated word salads, & a TVTropes page 🙃

@Skovheks
Tagging in @TarkabarkaHolgy, because if anyone would know any stories about prehensile beards, it's her.
@Gulleko @Skovheks I have several beard folktales on my blog, but I can look into it more.

@TarkabarkaHolgy @Gulleko

I can narrow is a touch, It's likely something Russian/Slavic

Both times I've encountered modern references, one was a group of Kabalists from Russia , the other literally called "Russian Beard" from the cartoon The TICK

But bloody hell if I can find anything other than the tale of "Bluebeard", or articles on Russian Beard Tax/Coins -_-

Any illumination is welcomed,
I'll check you sight shortly

@Skovheks @Gulleko I usually search in Google Books for specific terms. Better results.
