It's very rare these days to see a politician with facial hair. Long gone are the days of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, and it seems strange to imagine modern lawmakers sporting exorbitant beards.

Fortunately, the creative facial hair experts at West Coast Shaving have imagined such a thing for you! Now, in honor of No Shave November, you can finally witness the hypothetically majesty of male politicians with facial hair. For some, the move would be ill-advised (sorry Jeb), while others wear their 'staches surprisingly well (lookin' at you, Joe Biden).

And as for Obama: we now have a pretty clear idea of how you'll look in retirement. Work those whiskers!
