Angels with hairy faces

Harry Kane.

That would be the music, not the man's beard.

He doesn't have a beard, S_A, he has something on his upper lip that looks like it comes from a joke shop.

I don't know about disguise but my reference to the joke sticks as far as I am concerned; perhaps I have gotten this wrong...

[smittims]

I thought you were referring to the side-whiskers. One still sees them on eccentric American millionaires, such as the boss of a large food company (can't recall his name) who had huge white pointed side-whiskers projecting several inches out.

I think one reason for them , and moustaches, was the difficulty of getting a clean shave without cuts over thin skin before the introduction of safety razors. King's Regulations for many years required soldiers to leave their upper lip unshaven, and I think this was because of the danger of infection from shaving the lip in the field.

Excellent contribution, smittims. I imagine the risk-of-infection justification extended to other professions too. (Including, perhaps, the practice of magic! ) On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, the navy demanded a full set or nothing. What was the difference I wonder? And where do composers and conductors enter the equation? Scriabin, for example, died from sepsis whose origin was on his upper lip, despite having a moustache.

Emperor Nero, an early neckbeard wearer, was a bit of a musician but not an angel.

You may recall that Baldrick's effort resulted in his being called the 'slug balancer'.

C’mon Richard, it’s unlike you to be wrong!
How about ‘Gnarly’ Gruber?

"C’mon Richard, it’s unlike you to be wrong!"

"Nali", surely? Or was it autocorrect?

It was delierate, Bryn.
