Today is day 9 and this shit is growing out of control. It's the longest I have gone without shaving in my entire life! I am breaking new grounds here. I am at that phase where the hair bends over if I lie on it wrong and irritates me until I wake up to shift it right. It's also starting to become itchy and when I'm talking to people I tend to rub my beard gripping it from under my chin with my hand open and slowly closing it, subtly pinching my chin. Apparently this is rather sexy and mature.
Things I have started noticing since about two days ago is how other people with beards walk past and give me a nod of appreciation, probably because they know the time and effort that is put into growing a beard. I have also noticed that my voice has gotten a lot deeper and I have this urge to do handyman work all of a sudden. I've spotted screws that need tightening and walls that need painting etc. I have started becoming more aware of tools on sale in catalogues and considering buying a drilling machine this weekend... just because. Weird.
I will report back at the 2 week mark and lets see what phase I enter into next.
