Don't forget to give me your opinion of what you think of my scruff. Answer the poll in the sidebar.
However, I grew a beard over the Christmas break. It started out for medicinal purposes, because I was not supposed to shave around my wound (see last blog entry) but I decided to grow it until school started again. I grew it for about a month and then shaved on the second day of school.
My hair was also starting to get long. I remember going to my mission reunion during the first weekend of October and thinking that my hair was a bit long and that it needed a cut. Here are a few photos of me with my scruff before I cut my hair.
And here a few of me with my beard a while after my hair was cut and just before I shaved.
I decided to try out a few thing while shaving my face. First I tried a goatee.
I don't think the goatee worked so well. Next I tried what my roommate's friend suggested which is apparently some sort of Puerto Rican thing. After that I tried just having a soul patch.
Honestly though, I don't think anything works on me other than clean shaven or possibly even my somewhat full, but sketchy beard. So here is the final product after about a month being very hairy.
The day that I finally chopped it all off seemed so cold to me. Who would have thought that a little scruff could make such a difference with how cold my face felt. It is sad to say, but I miss my scruff. It was also interesting to get peoples reaction on how they thought I looked with my beard. It was very polarized. Either people thought it looked great, or they thought it looked terrible.
What do you think? Answer my little quiz at the top of the sidebar.
