About B.O.M.B.: B.O.M.B. (Brotherhood Of Mustaches & Beards) is a social/facial hair club that was founded in 2011 and became a voting member of the WBMA (World Beard and Moustache Association) in 2014. They started out as a group of likeminded individuals that were proud of our facial hair but sick of the stereotypes and pre-conceived notions the general public had towards it. The group set out to change that image by getting active in our local communities. They figured if they got out in force and in the public eye, they may sway a few opinions......and it seems to be working!
