Welcome to a month-long project. On my college campus, March is a no-shave month for men. Given that I have just a horrible, patchy monstrosity of a beard, I decided I might as well preserve a photo record of its true awfulness for posterity. I actually haven't shaved for a week already (mostly out of laziness), so what you're seeing is, incredibly, actually already an eight-day beard. In any case, I plan to update daily with a series of four photos: a straight-on shot, right and left profiles, and an under-the-chin shot for the purpose of highlighting the neckbeard. In any case, this is day one: March first.
At this point, I'm pretty comfortable with my beard. The only complaint I have is that it is slightly scratchy when I lower my head and my neck comes into contact with my chest. That, and the fact that I feel slightly greasy and disheveled. I'm thinking about shampooing my jaw. I suspect, however, that as the month progresses, I will grow steadily more horrified by the scraggly rattiness of it all. Oh well. More tomorrow.
