Hungarian beards and mustaches for "No Shave November" and "Movember"

"No Shave November" and "Movember" are both movements to raise awareness of men's health issues. An interesting fact about the Hungarian beard and mustache: At the beginning of the 18th century Hungarian peasantry was forced to shave their facial hair because of a so-called beard penalty. It was only after 1848, after the abolition of birth privileges, that beard (Kossuth beard) became widespread among the nobility.
