Movember 29 & 30

This will be my last entry, considering the paper gets printed today (Nov. 29).

What have I learned over the course of this adventure?

Well, first of all, I still look nearly prepubescent without a beard. I have been getting ID'd everywhere, and I'm really, really old (I have two kids for Christ sake).

Second, that 'staches aren't so bad. They can be kinda cool if done right (I'm lookin' at you Tom Selleck, keep trying John Waters).

Thirdly, I really miss my beard. My round head appreciated the lengthening it gave me.

Would I do it again? For sure, but I think I would join the vast majority of people I've seen and cheat something fierce (by not starting clean shaven). Mo 's can be fun, but when it takes you 28 days to grow a decent one, Movember is just too short.

In the home stretch now.

If I'm perfectly honest, I'm a little disappointed by my mo. It's only in the past day or so that I've been able to do anything great with it (curling the tips).

There is a temptation to keep on growing it, but I I've a stronger temptation to grow the beard back, so I continue to live in my house.

I was debating not shaving, giving the beard a head start on its way back, but decided that would be contrary to the spirit of Movember.

Instead I not only shaved, but waxed the Mo.

Much eye rolling and "seriously"'s came from the wife.

Someone commented the other day that my moustache had finally crossed the threshold from perv to dad.

I was shocked. I thought I crossed that line weeks ago.

Buy nothing day and I'm all out of moustache wax.

What is a dapper gentleman to do?

Movember 22, 23 & 24

It's getting close to the end, and I'm still undecided about what I'm going to do with the 'stache.

The beard is most deff coming back, but will I shave the mo, or let the ward grow in around it.

Decisions decisions.

I never realized how much I enjoy shaving until this month.

It's a rather satisfying process. I'm even impressed with the scum in the sink, and how easily it washes down the drain.
