Heh. I've been debating on doing that myself. I'm currently rocking a 2 month growth beard.

Told myself I'd shave it in March but now I'm thinking I may use it like the NHL playoffs and keep it until the Dawgs lose again in hoops.

Boys, boys, boys. As beardmaster of the board, let's not get hasty on our beard shaving talk.

shaved my beard off. horrified now.

A guy here did that like 6 months ago, and ... suddenly FAAAAAAAT. He grew it back.

yeah, I've lost about 40 pounds so wondered what I looked like now. still ugly under there. so much fucking gray in my beard though. I guess overall I look a tad younger but a bit uglier. good times.

Do that everyday. I walk to work, and its really a joy to actually experience all 4 seasons in that manner. I love coming home for lunch, grabbing the mail, firing up something on netflix streaming, and sitting down on my couch. Definitely allows me to decompress for an hour, without hurrying through a burger or microwaved meal.

I loved doing that when I first started working and lived across the street from the office. My roommate and I watched a lot of West Wing during our lunch breaks over that 1.5 years.

the question now becomes: can I keep up on shaving every other day?

I've been doing exactly this damn near every day that I have been home for the past five years here in Tucson. Not sure exactly how I am going to deal with commuting in the vicinity of a major city with 12 hour shifts after the move. Definitely tops the list of things I am likely to miss.

Wtf! When did that go up? It must have been in the last 6 years since we left, because we were at IKEA around the corner at least twice a month.

People around my work actually don't seem to mind that I have a burly beard, and letting my hair grow long. My wife doesn't mind either so, thats a definite plus.

Sit down (what else?) this week with some folks for some freelance work means I gotta hack off the beard, which was pretty much just an experiment anyway.

I had a beard, but in Korea only old men have them. My students took to calling me adjoshi, which means old man in Korean, so I shaved that shit off. Plus the girls here hate it.

Any runners here? Anyone been plagued by calf problems? Third time this year I've torn my right calf during a run. Tried various stretching routines, arch supports, new shoes, massage, ice baths.
