Beard Studies, Part 2

I know I was planning to leave my beard mostly untouched until my brother's wedding, but I couldn't resist. Here's a picture from the "ax murderer" collection:

It also looks like I should be tutoring youngsters Russian. This is the least menacing picture from that whole folder; the rest...yeesh.

It was about here that I started trimming the sides while leaving the chin/goatee part nice and full. I do have a picture from that time, but I'll wait until it shows up in a post about the wedding shenanigans. It was hard to take myself seriously at that point.

I was in a conversation with Dan and Lupita before going to bed early that evening--I was getting u0p early the next day to go on the fishing/hiking trip with Norm--and I excused myself for a moment. I went into the bathroom and shaved the whole red woolen thing off. It took a few minutes, and they thought I'd left to make a deposit in the Banco de Toilette.

Nope, just happily shearing the growth from my face. Awesome...
