Aaron Harang's beard is a modern marvel

The titian glow around this pitcher's face is actually human hair.

Aaron Harang's beard, guys. Look above at how readily it flexes to accentuate his expression. Look how it straightens perfectly at rest:

It look likes a watermark, like you shouldn't be able to see it unless you hold it up to the light.

It looks like someone outlined his face with a big orange pen, then tried in vain to erase it.

It looks like someone hit "select all" on his face, then did a drop shadow effect.

And we haven't even discussed the chin region:

It's horrifyingly straight. Like, I'm pretty sure he pressed an actual ruler up to his lower lip then shaved around it. I am appalled and perplexed and fascinated. I want to study this beard. I want to ask it questions.
