Shaving in Increments

shaving in increments 1

So, it seems the one thing people agreed upon was that the throat beard had to go. It was actually easier said than done; shaving under and around what I wanted to leave in place took some skill and patience. But after almost an hour of scraping at my skin, this is what I'm left with.

It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the sideburns are really long and stick straight out. I'm not sure how much I like them. I do like, though, that everything (the 'stache, the goatee, the chops) is angular and narrows down to a point. I think it makes me look almost sinister. (Insert evil laugh.)

While I'm planning on continuing to get rid of more of this facial shag, I think I might keep this configuration for a while, at least for a few days.

What do you think? Any opinions? Questions? Comments? Concerns?

The Hobo Look is So Last Season

Mr Beardface

Spring is here, and I fear my abundance of facial hair may be too hot for the impending warm summer weather. But I don't think I'm ready to go clean-shaven just yet. So, I'm asking the intarwebs for help choosing my next facial hair configuration.

I've already had some good suggestions, but I want to have a wide range of options and a diverse group of people to blame for my poor grooming decisions. So far, it's been suggested that I:

• only keep the 'stache
• shave everything but the chops
• or just shave the sides and keep the mustache and chin beard

Do you have any other suggestions?
