Day One.
Today begins my foray into No-Shave November. By looking at picture one, you can see the blank slate. The canvas upon which facial hair shall be applied, stroke by stroke, throughout this wonderful month. I was thinking this morning, why November? Why not No-Shave May? Aside from the nice alliteration of it, I suppose it’s probably because this month begins the time of year when a man truly needs his beard for practical purposes, mainly protecting the face from the cold of winter.
Though I will be taking a picture every day, I don’t think I’ll be posting photos every day. Maybe every couple of days, or when I think there’s something worth noting. And then I’ll probably create some sort of time lapse slideshow at the end of the month, to see the progress.
Happy bearding.
Oh, and one final thought. Without a beard to block my face, I realize I have much more of a butt chin than I ever really knew. Just one more reason to embrace beardom, I suppose.
