TBGP vs. The Ultimatum

So, my wife has handed down an ultimatum. Either shave the beard . . . or no sex. She claims it's a bit "rough" down there. I don't think I need to go into specifics as to what she means. So, I'm debating whether the temporary loss of sex is worth getting to the 3 month mark of "The Beard Growth Project". I'm going to need a couple of days to think this through.

In other more beard-centric news, you can make out the errant white hair that is growing on the side of my cheek. It's longer than all the other facial hair that surrounds it, but the web-cam on my MacBook is not picking it up all that well. It's a bit blurry, but if you've got sharp vision, you can make it out.

Mid-Week Beard Report

I'm not sure if it's the lack of appropriate lighting, or just the fact that my beard is just not growing at a rate that can be seen by the naked eye (ooh, naked . . . rawr), but I just don't see any difference at all from my last update. My wife did notice that my one gray (well, it's more white) that grows on my face actually sticks up and goes against the grain, making it fairly visible to beard on-lookers. I might take a picture of that to show the internets people what old looks like. In the meantime, I'll just keep growing this beard . . . for the sake of science and "The Beard Growth Project".

Beard Profile Update

You can see in the picture above how my beard is coming along from the side. I'm growing a fairly decent set of "mutton chops" (at least I think that's what they're called). They're just longer and bushier sideburns. That's pretty much all I have right now. The length is getting to where the hairs on my face are starting to curl. You can also see a couple of white hairs (not pictured). I'm getting old.
