It’s not itchy!

Hello there Beard Fans, and welcome along to this weeks Beardie Weirdie Blog!

I’m in a good place with the beard at the moment, despite a lot of people giving me funny looks - I think a lot of people are suspicious of people with beards. I have no idea why!

Most people I talk too say something along the lines of, “Oooh, isn’t it itchy?”, well, no, it isn’t! The beard was itchy at the stubble phase months ago, but that phase has well and truly passed. Head hair isn’t itchy, and neither is facial hair, in fact, it’s nice and soft. It doesn’t take any more care than head hair - I shampoo it every other day, comb it twice a day, and if I feel like pampering myself, I occasionally have a sneaky pinch of some of the wife’s conditioner!

Speaking of the wife, many thanks to Sam for this weeks donation! I’d like to thank her for her support and tolerance of the beard - she’s not a beard fan, but she’s really on my side with it.

Here’s this weeks mugshot, taken on Thursday in my office.
