"...a little bit of everything"
It's No-Shave November! 11/8/08
Oct-hair-ber is long and gone, and now No-Shave November has arrived. It is the most well-known and most observed
month of no shaving.
Usually when No-Shave November arrives, I pump myself up and don't shave for the first week...but then I realize how
awful I look and cry to myself as I shave my whiskers away. This year however, things are going to be different. It's been
eight days and other than my facial hair causing my skin to break out, I feel pretty good about it so far. Don't get me wrong,
my facial hair is still patchy and looks like food crumbs, but I've learned to accept any humiliation I may feel from my peers.
Throughout No-Shave November I will be posting updates of my hair progress. Keep in mind that my facial hair is blond,
that it doesn't look good, and that it grows very, very slowly.
Here is a picture of me from the night of October 31st. It's a really bad picture of me, but you can see that I am freshly
shaven.

I am the creepy and sweaty guy on the left. Even if you squint you can't see any facial hair whatsoever. I started the
month of November at almost absolute zero...let's see where I am on the 30th. So far after eight days, I'm getting kind of
hairy. I will post a picture in the next couple days.
I encourage any of you men out there (or women) to grow out your beards and mustaches with me. It is a true test of
manliness.
I also encourage you readers to check out last years article on the World Mustache Tournament. This is basically what
I'm aiming for.
