Experimentation

I am trying something new at the moment. I have consciously decided not to shave since last Tuesday morning, probably the longest I have ever gone without shaving. The reason I haven't tried it before is because my "beard" is very slow growing and quite patchy, so when I have let it grow before, and tried to trim it into a neater appearance it has never quite worked.
I am surprised that it isn't irritating me much, and am also surprised that I have managed to get it to a longer length than the hair on top of my head (though that isn't saying much as my hair is always quite short). It is growing unevenly though and there are pronounced hairs and patches of hairs that are obviously longer than the rest, and some are, shall we say, "a different colour" to the rest!! I'll let you work that one out.
I will trim the "beard" down tomorrow (and try and remember to take before and after pictures) and see what I can make of it. I can't see me keeping it, but I thought I'd try it out just this once. We shall see how I get on.
