Why The Beard?

Because with a shaved face I look like a chubby 12 year old, that's why.

The beard thing kind of progressed on it's own. I always had at least a little stubble going on since I hated to shave, and with some encouragement (you know who you are), I decided to just let it flow. Why not? It's cold here. I think I look better with it than without. Not many seem totally disgusted by it--indifference is the common reaction--but some seem to enjoy it.

Naturally, my first (and totally rational) fear upon hearing that Chemo was coming was that I'd lose my beard. If not lose it, that it would at least thin out. So I immediately stopped any trimming/shaving, trying to let it get as long as possible before starting treatment. We've got a good one going, and we'll just have to see what kind of toll the drugs take on it. Since I'm something of a beard aficionado now, I'll share different products I use to take care of it, protect it, and make it visually pleasing to the ladies RIGHT GUYS HAHAHAHA.

I don't know how to talk to girls.
