If you want to understand why most Afghan men sport facial hair, look no further than this Afghan saying:
"A woman with a beard looks like a man, a man without a beard looks like a woman."

Whilst out on the Cumbria Way I did something I have never done before - spent a week without shaving. This is the resulting beard on the day I decided to shave it off.
So I began the whole process as apathy towards my looks and apathy for shaving; then it started to grow and I figured, "What the hell, I'll keep it."
But now it is gone -- I couldn't take it anymore.
Oddly enough, with a beard, I look like my old friend Mike Robison.
Apparently the new beard trimmer has not solved the problem of my beard hairs being sharp enough to penetrate skin.
This loaf is very heavy and dense and is very good for sandwiches. Adapted by me from Beard on Bread:
In a standing mixer with mixing paddle, put 1/2 cup of water at body temperature, 1 package of active dry yeast and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Turn mixer on for a little bit and then let it stand for five minutes while it proofs.
Add 3 3/4 cups of King Arthur Unbleached Flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 cup more of body temperature water. Turn on the mixer. If it is too dry and the mixer begins to jump, add 1 teaspoon of water. I don't think more than this will be needed. Let the mixer run until you have a very nice ball of dough.
Change to the kneading paddle. Let it knead the dough for 10 minutes. Take the dough out and put it upside down in an oiled bowl. Rub the dough gently in the oil and put right side up in the bowl and let it rise covered with oiled plastic wrap loosely on top until it is doubled in bulk (about one hour).
Punch down the dough and knead by hand for as long as you can take it. Shape into a nice loaf and put into a large loaf pan. I use a very long pan from King Arthur.
Bake at 400°F and check at 35 minutes. My loaves are taking at least 45 minutes to bake. If you bake this too long, the crust will be very hard. It is crispy if it is baked just right.
