In 2005 he won with with a beard styled into the shape of Berlin's Brandenberg Gate, and in 2007 with a representation of London's Tower Bridge.
He said he had begun preparing his creation for the Trondheim event at 7am, with the help of his sister.

I wonder if the rules allows you to include items in the beard, too. Add a few beads, and you could make an abacus-beard!
