Well, I’ve just has the last shave of 2009.
I decided that I ought to start off with short hair, so have spent the last hour or so with the clippers. Number 1 all over! I was going to go for the proper Bic job and go bald bald, but I think I’ve gone far enough.
Last Shave
No shaving for me for 2009, so I’ve binned the razor. I am clean shaven for the last time in 365 days. Even my beloved sideburns have gone, which I have worn with pride since about 15, when I was able to start growing them.
Bye Bye Razor
So Happy New Year from Beardie Weirdie. The first proper Blog post with Beard Of The Week will start on Friday (2nd January 2009!)
Although it’s only 6 sleeps until Christmas, I’m not feeling very festive yet. I think it’s probably because I have to work next week - even Christmas Eve (cue violins!)
With a bit of luck, this time next year, I’ll be sporting an enviable full set. Wonder if I’ll be able to white it up, and get a gig as Santa?
Anyway, to one and all, Merry Christmas, and a Prosperous 2009!
Merry Christmas!
Well, I’m still relatively clean shave. From losing the goatee getting on for 2 months ago, I have shaved at least weekly. Although this is less regular than most blokes, it is significantly more regular for this scruffy herbert.
With my last shave for the year lined up for New Years Eve, I’ve only got 2 and a little bit weeks to go.
Bring on the beard!
Here’s a rare photo of me without the glasses on:
Still Shaving
Well, winter is definitely upon us! I’ve had to scrape frost and ice off the car most mornings this week, and even once when I went out on Tuesday evening.
It’s wrap up warm time, with a combo of gloves, scarves, fleeces and thick coats for me.
My face is feeling the cold – this time next year, I should be the proud owner of, what I hope, will be a fairly lengthy full beard.
Here are my artist’s impressions of before and after shots:

I received my third donation last week from my good friend Benjo!
Thank you! It’s much appreciated!
