Here’s the picture three weeks into No Shave November: (Again, I must remind you that the joyless mug shot picture is only because I am making a video that chronicles the hair growth of my beard and reduplicating the same goofy smile 30 days in a row is quite the challenge.)
Compare this picture to THE START OF NSN, THE 1 WEEK UPDATE, and THE TWO WEEK UPDATE.
With December being around the corner and being 2/3 completed through NSN, I want to give some serious props to all the girls in the Shannon Oaks Church Student Ministries who have rocked the “man-legs” this month. You girls rock!
Positives of not shaving my face:
- Beard has covered up any zits and other skin imperfections.
- It is a flavor-saver.
- I join an elite club of awesome beard guys – members include the Dos Equis MostĀ InterestingĀ Man in the World, that dude from Star Trek the Next Generation, my dad, and Abe Lincoln.
Negatives from not shaving my face:
- I resemble Michael J. Fox from the 1985 classic movie Teen Wolf.
- My wife does not really like touching my face.

Nice mug shot… football wednesday at 2:30 middle school if you are in town and feel like beating up on some 20 year old kids. tackle….
You are looking good- I hope that you keep that around until December 3rd when I get out there.
