Alas poor Beardie, I knew him well…
Posted in Random Stuff on January 27th, 2009A facefuzz of infinite jest….
Yes, I know that the line is “Alas poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio,,,” before anyone starts quibbling.
My beard is gone. It is an ex-beard. It is…no more….it is pushing up the daisies.
I shaved it. I fancied a change, and Id been going on about thinking about maybe, perhaps contemplating shaving it off, so on Saturday I just went ahead and did it.
So its gone. My face is oddly smooth, apart from the shaving cuts. Well, its been a while since I shaved that part of my face, frankly its been a while since I last SAW that part of my face, so its taking a while to get used to shaving it properly.
So far most peoples reactions have been positive. I havent seen anyone collapsing in hysterics. The worst thing ive heard people say (at least to my newly smoothed face) is “It makes you look younger.”
I can live with that.
