Each contender needs to visit Phil Weaver at his Church Street shop, where he will take a photo and upload it to social media for users to choose their favourite.

Voting closes at noon on Friday, August 11, before the winner is announced at 1pm.

The winner will claim £100 worth of Bluebeard’s Revenge.

Phil also has potions and oils from the male grooming company to offer each contestant to get their facial hair looking its best.
