Meet a man with the official “best beard in the world” – it’s very big struggling to eat

Meet the man with the best beard in the world-which crowned the best in the World Championship Bird and Sharp-thanks to Mane Black Black Luse 11 inch.

Trefor Mustafa, 44, was recognized for his impressive hair – who decided to grow “regardless of society.”

Trefor began planting his current beard in February 2023 – before ecstasy is victorious in a better category in the show in July.

Although living with such a unbridled beard represents daily challenges, Trevor says it embraces it as a symbol of self -expression and plans to continue competition.

“I have been growing to my beard to nearly 12 years, sometimes cut it all and start again,” said Trevor, a maintenance worker for a post office, from Sacramento, California.

“But I was very urgent as I am now about 12 years ago.”

His journey to the glory beard competition began unexpectedly after receiving encouragement from admirers personally and online.

He said: “I was planting the beard and getting a lot of compliments personally, then I will publish pictures on the Internet and tell me people,” Oh, you must compete. “

He led him to introduce three large championships from the American beard and Sharp in 2018, 2022 and 2024 – where he won first place at a time.

But the 2025 World Championship represents a big step in the competition.

“When I went to the world championship, I had a feeling that I would do what was good, but I didn’t know if I would win first place, and certainly did not expect to win better in the show,” Trevor said.

“It was a complete surprise.”

Its award-winning beard-which is now about 11 inches-requires a dedicated maintenance to keep it in a better condition.

Its daily routine includes minimal brush and beard oil application, while its weekly system is more intense.

He said, “Weekly, I give it a deep air conditioning with a hair mask.”

“When I get out of the bathroom, I use a blow dryer over medium heat to dry my beard first, then use the beard products before combing a separate brush.”

Trevor divides a natural interlocking brush, which he describes as “about 10 dollars off the Amazon” – noting that it allows him to “comb my beard without any damage or hair loss.”

Maintaining such an impressive beard comes with unique challenges, especially when it comes to eating.

He said: “Eating is a real challenge. I cannot eat ice cream, I can’t eat soup – almost anything – only because of how thick and width of my beard.”

“I had to learn to deal with the first soft bites because there were more than several times as I swallowed my beard and suffocated it.

“I kept thinking that it should be the most absurd way to die.”

Besides practical challenges, Treefor admits that sport such distinctive hair in the face can affect social reactions.

“It is not just a beard, but it is a large beard, so it pushes people who do not like facial hair to start,” Trefor said.

“But I am the type who loves to have this candidate. I do not judge people based on their appearance, and I prefer to treat this way as well.

“That is why anyone judge me based on my appearance – it is good for me that we do not interact.”

The champion of the trace is the father of the 16-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son.

His initial journey to transplant the beard began as a personal statement of autonomy.

“The main inspiration for me was that it was like exercise,” he said.

“I wanted to decide what I would look at, regardless of what society said.”

After winning the World Championship, he is planning to continue the competition, through his next event in Los Angeles at the end of August.

He said: “I feel a good omen for my beard to win the first and best in the show.”

“So I may have to continue.”
