Aragorn's facial hair as a measure of each decade's cultural ideals of masculinity: a thread

1950s: Unclear. Has a hat. (Pauline Baynes)

1960s: Full beard (Cor Blok)

1970s: The 'gornstache (Hildebrandt brothers)

1980s: Clean-shaven, also WTF (Gentile brothers)

1990s: Still clean-shaven, but now he has an earring! (Guillaume Sorel)

2000s: Permastubble (New Line)

2010s: Back to clean-shaven (Peter Xavier Price)

Who knows what style of facial hair the new decade will bring? I can't wait to find out! I'm hoping for a Van Dyck, personally.
