I have had a beard, a full beard, which started growing the moment I graduated high schol back in 1991.
I wear it proudly, for it looks bad-ass.
One day, after much thought (weeks of thought) and knowing I had a full 8 days before I had to go to work again I decided to shave the mo-fucka.
I trimmed it down, and then proceeded to shave it in stages. I agve myself a goatee with long sideburns first, and I thought "hmm, not looking to bad rob. quite the sexy."
Then I took off the sideburns and saw my pale cheeks and jaw for the first time in over a decade. (I did this about 4 years ago) I thought "hmm, not so bad!"
Then I took off the goatee and left myself with just a moustache, and what amoustache!!! a glorious thing. I looked like a motherfucking pirate! I did not recognize the guy in the mirror.
Then I did it, I took it all off and shaved the whole fucker. I washed and looked in the mirror and what was staring at me? not the expected face of a 30 year old man, but the wrinkle-free, chubby face of my 16-17 year old self! I had not aged!!!! It scared the shit out of me. I looked fucking terrible!
my ex-wife (wife at the time) was shocked! my mom was flabbergasted and said I looked like a pale fart. My best friends, whom I have known since age 8 would not look me in the face!!!! it fucked them up to see my young looking babyface after years and years and years of the manly beard.
I grew that shit back as soon as it would grow (which was around 10-14 days to get back to the shortest level I like to keep it at)
I have never posted pics of it, nor shown anyone else. wow!
