Sooo...

For the last couple of days I've been making noise about shaving. I've had the same facial hairstyle for years now, and lately I'd come to be of the opinion that while it was apparent what said style was approximating, and that IMO, that which it approximated was pretty cool, it was never quite there except when trimmed just so, which it rarely was as my hair grows annoyingly fast. In short, I've gotten kinda sick of it.

So last night I decided to shave. I took off the goatee/soulpach/chin-thing... and then stopped.

See, moustaches are out, right? Way out. And yet, that means there's a certain extra sense of originality and style if one can pull it off. The question is...



...can I pull it off? I leave this question to you, dear readers:

Well, currently the votes for shaving outnumber the votes for variations on the theme of not shaving (albeit only by one)... which is convenient, given that in a fit of assertiveness I overcame inertia and did it. It's... weird. Every time in the past that I've shaved I remember thinking "man, I look so much better like this". I think that's just because in those days the thing I was shaving was generally an attempt at a full beard, which I could never do well. This time around... well, it's not that I think it looks bad, I'm just not sure it looks better. It feels kind of... generic like this, like the hair gave my face a bit more... personality. Or maybe it'll just take some getting used to. Or maybe it's that my options for things to fidget with have been significantly decreased, which is maddening. Or perhaps it's because I look like a friggin 12 year old.

Well, in any case, Glamour Shot!
