Curing my beardaphobia
You may remember that I started growing a beard back on the first of November. It is a thing my Dad and/or brother started where beards are grown from November ’til sometime around Christmas and then are shaved. We went to my brother’s house a few weeks ago and for me, it was time to shave off that mangy thing…
Brother, Dad, and me
Pre-trim...geez, do I look like that in the mirror?
Holy crap does it hurt to shave a beard!
When I came out of the bathroom with this look, Abigail honestly freaked and said, “You look like a maniac! Get away from me!” She acted as though she was truly a little freaked out by my appearance. She’s a smart kid…proved again!
I think this look should be called "circus strongman"
Hmmmm.....
Hmmmmm...continued
Ahhhh....the lifeblood - a quart of Mt Dew!
Ok, so, as I look back over this, I think I might be pretty vain. I have to tell you though, I am so glad to be rid of the squirrel as Emily calls it. Some people look awesome in a beard but I don’t have their strength of character or whatever it is that they have to put up with it. I am once again clean shaven and shall remain so…at least until November!

Have you heard? It’s Novembeard! My brother has long been a supporter of the Novembeard concept. I think he got it from my Dad. Anyhow, I am a late comer but a true believer! I laid my razor down on Halloween and will not drag a blade across my face again until after Christmas.
The beginning...
In addition to being incredibly stylish, I suspect this will save both time and money. My morning “get ready for work” time will drop from 8 minutes to 6 and my water usage will decline in similar fashion. I can keep the heat turned down a degree or two lower and my beard will provide a habitat for small woodland animals. Novembeard is green!
Without a beard...
An artist's rendition of what's to come...
Normally I wouldn’t even consider missing more than a day or two of shaving but for such a special time of year, I am prepared to do what it takes (and I am not even running for public office with that slogan…but I do approve this message) to propagate Novembeard as a national phenomenon. Ladies, gentlemen, children of all ages, please join me in skipping the morning shave and so we can take Novembeard from coast to coast!
