I must confess, I haven't had a beard since August. It got so long, and my friend ate 1kg of cheese to get it to go. I lost the bet. I was going to grow it back, but I have to apply for a UK working visa soon, and have to send in a current passport sized photo. It only takes a couple of weeks to grow. I have a freakish amount of facial hair.
I will try to be more honest about my appearance on this site in the future. This is the length my beard got to after ten months and minimal trimming. I did set it on fire once. Deliberately! Because that's how I roll. Can you see ? It is scarred. Someone joked to me while I was lighting a cigarette, "Don't light your beard on fire!" So I did it, quite deliberately. It really went up! XD
To beard or not to beard? That is the question.
