Many Santas only have one beard: the one that grows on their face. I am in a different situation and have collected a few pieces over my past 5 years, some of which I have never work but keep as a backup just in case I need them.
From my ActOne pieces paired with an off-brand yak wig to my B-11 set (which many people seem to enjoy) I can achieve different looks based on what I'd like for different gigs. I will echo what Santa's Tailor Bill Dendy has said, "one is none." When it comes to those times Murphy's Law has struck, there's nothing more important than having a spair.
I try to have two sets on deck ready to go at a moment's notice. I would recommend any theatrical bearded Santa to invest in two of everything piece-wise. Having a few extra eyebrows and mustaches can't hurt either as you never know when they'll come in handy.
Try out a few of the links listed on the Resource page on this website should you desire something similar or even the exact model of what I have. It's important to note that is is very rare that anything should look good enough to wear straight out of the box. My pieces look the way they do because I styled them that way. If you would like your pieces to resemble mine, you can find videos walking you through it step my step. If you'd like me to do it myself, shoot me an email and we can arrange those services prior to December (goodness knows how busy we all get).

Yours as always,
Santa Stuart
