beardo

Man with whiskers

A beardo is a man with a beard, especially a notably full or unkempt one.

The term carries a slightly mocking tone, suggesting the beard defines the person's look or identity: Some beardo at the coffee shop was mansplaining pour-over technique.

Often applied to hipsters or outdoorsy types who treat facial hair as a lifestyle statement.
