Well the day has finally arrived. The day I shave this madness off my face! No more "what the hell is that on your face?!" and weird looks anymore! It's back to the 5 O'Clock shadow where my dimples actually show.
I have had to give the Leonard's and the Flanigan's their eviction notice. They're the family of lice and fleas that are residing on either side of my face. Maybe they will relocate to my chest hair... until that comes off.
I spent my 67 minutes for Madiba letting underprivileged kids touch my beard. I clearly made their day as they have never seen something so amazing growing off someone's face before.
It's going to be very weird not having a beard anymore. I started getting used to random hipsters coming up to me and trying to button up my top button of my work shirts while I was out walking in the streets of the CBD. No more grating cheese with my cheek. No more leftovers caught in my chin hair. My fantasy of owning a bear will fade and I probably won't go buy all those power tools I saw in the Builder's Warehouse catalogue. I was also very close to buying a red checkered shirt and an axe.
The day I started growing this beard was the same day I got back into the gym (after a 2 month break) and I'm scared that I might lose all my strength once I shave this beard off... Like Samson.
So this is it. The three weeks of proving a point to everyone how quick my beard grows is done and dusted. I don't think I will grow one of these for this long again. I have a whole new appreciation for the people that do stick it out, but it's clearly not for me.
Now I that the beard is coming off, this doesn't mean that you need to stop reading this blog, I will do my best to keep the photos, videos and random articles coming. Thanks for all the support, I really do appreciate it.
