Proraso Barber Shop & Beard and Mustache Competition

The Barberia and the Beard and Moustache Competition are back at L'Eroica in Gaiole in Chianti.

The elegance of the heroic: beards and moustaches take center stage

Once again this year, the PRORASO Barbershop returns to Piazza Ricasoli, a space entirely dedicated to beard and moustache grooming in perfect vintage style.

Now a traditional staple, this event combines style, passion, and tradition in the heart of the Heroic Village, prepping the eroici for the legendary Beard and Moustache Competition.

The Beard and Moustache Competition

 The ritual of the Beard and Moustache Competition is a must-attend event for all eroici. Here, every participant interprets the art of facial hair in their own way, showing off their personal style in complete harmony with:

  • Vintage cycling apparel
  • The accompanying heroic bicycle
  • The timeless charm of epic cycling

A moment of style, irony, and tradition that consistently wins over the crowd and produces unforgettable photos.
