Evolution

It's hardly scientific, but I did take a lot of pictures over my evolution period.

 

I decided, after a disussion with a friend back in October, to let the beard grow longer than I had before, in the hope it would straighten out and behave, and look rugged and nice and so on (it settled on chaotic and pubic, but some people loved it).

 

You can chart the point at which I give up on trying to tame the beard and become distracted by the potential of the moustache - and the early attempts to get a wax and technique that worked for me!

 

I trimmed the beard right back last night, for a change. The long beard experiment is over, but it was documented along the way, and it's final hours were captured by a photographer infinitely more skilled than I.

 

Obviously if you want the full horrors in detail- view this large.
