Congratulations Vince, You Now Look Like A Young Boy or: Ding Dong the Beard Is Dead

Hey. In case you cannot tell from the title of this post, I have shaven off my beard. Not trimmed it down as I normally do once or twice a month, but full on razored it off. It was mostly done to give it a re-boot. Sometimes after multiple trimmings, things just get uneven. By taking the whole thing off, I am able to regrow it and have it be as even as possible. So, this morning I decided to document the whole thing and have a little fun with it. Here are some pictures if I can figure out how to add them to this post.


Alright, first we have a picture of myself before this whole process began. Note the full beard that had been trimmed about two weeks ago. On the last trimming I took everything down a little except the mustache and the goatee.



Here we have the first cuts of the process. I took off everything below my jaw and a little bit on my cheeks. The effect is a Van Dyke with chops.



Next I eliminated the chops out of the picture, leaving only the Van Dyke.



This is an attempt at a Fu Manchu. Seeing as how my mustache does not connect to my goatee very well, it looks awful.



The final snapshot shows me with only a mustache.


Minutes after that last picture was taken, I completed the process by shaving off the mustache. I would have liked to keep just that, but I have seen 15 year olds pull it off better then me and I'll be damned if a 15 year old shows me up at a facial hair competition.
