WESTON RUTKOWSKI

With Great Beards comes Great Responsibility

Written by Kim Zierlein
Weston Rutkowski , Bullfighters Only freestyle bull fighter , gives us the scoop on facial hair !
Q : What are your care steps for the wild whiskers ? A : I use " Maestros Classic " beard butter and beard wash . They are actually one of my sponsors . I signed on with them a few weeks ago and it ' s the best product I ' ve ever used . I get up in the morning and take a shower , I use the beard wash and then when I get out of the shower I am sure to brush my beard out . My facial hair is extremely thick and coarse so I comb it out and then put the beard butter in to soften it and shape it some .

Q : What are the best comments people make about your beard ? I get all kinds of comments and questions about my beard but the one I hear the most is , when are you gonna shave ? I always reply , " I don ' t understand your question ."
Q : Why the beard ? A ; Why the beard ? My answer is why not !? In a world full of politically correct , follow-everything-by-the-book , clean shaven guys , why should I be the same as them ?

ABOUT WESTON Weston Rutkowski is a 3rd generation Rodeo Cowboy hailing from Haskell , TX where he grew up watching his uncles compete as professional saddle bronc riders . They were his heroes and from that point on he wanted to grow up to be just like them . Weston ’ s fascination with bulls led him to try bull riding in college , but he never felt up to par . When Weston ’ s friend Clint Hopping asked him to protect him in practice , Weston went for it . What happened next he said , “ just felt natural ”. Staying physically fit allows Weston to get around bulls the way he does . Weston says bullfighting is a mental challenge . " You ' ve gotta be strong enough mentally to overcome your fear of what could happen and get out there and just do your job ."
