Who has a Long Moustache?

When Haim Hoffman was a child, he saw a bus driver with an enormous

moustache and decided he has to have one. Lutz Gieser from Berlin,

seventy six years old, has been growing a beard for six decades. When he
was twelve his grandmother showed him a picture of his family members,

all had a beard and he realized his calling in life immediately. The beards

and moustaches championship has been taking place around the world for
more than twenty years, but Haim decided to bring it to Israel. Fifty beard

groomers from around the world came here, and the first European
championship will be open to the public on Friday at Abraham Hostel in

Tel Aviv. A moment before the championship began Lutz had a major

crisis, he had to cut (his) Chinese moustache because of two wayward
hairs and take off eight centimeters. And Haim remembers every morning,

when he goes to work in a museum in Berlin, why every day he shampoos,

waxes and sprays, and devotes his life to the beard, “Many, many groups
come to me, young people, tourists, Israelis, all sorts, and they only see me

and already – the laughter! That’s the pleasure I get.”
