STERLING, Ill., Jan. 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the sixth year in a row, Wahl's mobile barbershop traveled across the country to find the Wahl Man of the Year - one individual who demonstrates facial hair excellence above and beyond all others. This year, Wahl Trimmers is pleased to announce that Mike Parks, of Raleigh North Carolina, has earned this title for his flawlessly groomed chinstrap beard.
Throughout the tour, Wahl's team of experts provided facial hair makeovers and grooming tips to gentlemen, while celebrating the art of facial hair. Along the way, thousands of stylish and eligible men entered themselves in the Wahl Man of the Year contest. Afterwards, their mugs posted on WahlNation.com, where the public was able to critique and vote for their favorite styles.
Achieving the best facial hair in the country is the highest of honors. Therefore, Wahl chose to award this worthy recipient with a lithium ion prize pack – complete with an Apple iPad 2, Flip minoHD video camera and Garmin GPS system –all powered by the same lithium ion technology used by Wahl products. And no Lithium Ion package would be complete without products from Wahl – including the Lithium Ion grooming kit.
Those looking to achieve Parks superior facial hair style should visit WahlNation.com. The site offers and an abundance of grooming tips and techniques and the opportunity to explore a variety of looks and trends in the Encyclopedia of Styles. In addition, Wahl's master stylist, Ben Phillips, has a few tips for achieving this look.
"This look requires patience, an eye for detail and a steady hand," says Phillips. "You'll want to use an unguarded trimmer to trim a half-inch line from your sideburns to the jaw line. The most important thing is to make sure the width is consistent."
