So I’m in about day seven of intentionally not shaving. I hate shaving anyway, always have. Just lately I’ve decided it might be cool to have a beard for a few weeks, just to see what all the fuss is about. I have to say that for the first time in my life this looks like something I’m doing on purpose. Usually I just look like a dude you’d see buying jerky and a case of motor oil at the auto parts store, getting into an ‘86 Mustang. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just that being spottily scruffy is Not Cool.
Oddly though, it’s sort of blonde in places. I have really dark hair (well, what of it isn’t going gray anyway.) Worst of all it itches. A lot. All the time. I’m guessing this goes away?
I tried googling ‘my itchy beard’. That yielded, well, anecdotal stuff that wasn’t helpful. So I’ll probably give up in a few days and wash it all down the sink. But until then I must say I’m enjoying my newfound rugged good looks.
