Day 326: Grow A Mustache

Moments before shaving

Just a little off the top.

     This challenge has been in the works since the beginning of the month. I was doing the whole no-shave-November thing, but my facial hair is too patchy (and, lets face it, just plain bad looking) for me to keep. So I succumbed to the urge to shave. I just had to have those baby-bottom-smooth cheeks again. I doubt many people even knew that I was participating in the the bare-skin-boycott, but I still felt like I was giving up too soon. So I came up with a compromise, I would shave everything but the mustache. I'd have soft cheeks and I'd be taking care of a challenge for the day. Two birds, one stone.
     Unfortunately, once shaved, I noticed that although I may have pretty bad facial hair all around, the mustache has got to be weakest part. It was all short and blonde with only a few dark colored whiskers. From a distance, it just looks like I've got dirt above my lip. And from up close, it just looks like I have bad taste in facial hair. Two stones, no birds.

     I told myself that I'd keep the stache until the end of No-Shave...but I don't know if that'll happen. It just looks so bad. We will see. Maybe next year I should take more of those beard pills. That'll do the trick.

Day 115: Beard Boosting Pills

Pro skateboarder, Patrick Melcher,
 my facial hair inspiration 

    Can ya believe it? They make pills that supposedly boost your beard growing power to the next level of beardom. Its a product thats called Biotin and not only does it increase growth on your chin hair, apparently it helps your hair and fingernails grow nice and strong also. I got a bottle, not for some fingernail assistance (I got it covered), but for the beard potential. If this power-packed-peach-fuzz-pill really works, I should have a set of luscious mutton chops in no time. I took a dose of Biotin about five minutes ago and I just know that these puppies are gonna put my chin on the map! I can feel it.
