Raw, animal magnetism. Or something.

I will be the first to admit that I am a lazy shaver.

Given total freedom (and a reasonable electric beard trimmer, which I really should invest in at some point) I would be perfectly content to exist in a perpetual state of moderate scruff, possibly verging on slight beardliness if I'm feeling particularly distracted.

I am aware that this may not be an ideal grooming choice.

That I would quietly tumble into No-Shave November as a concept and (mostly*) quietly play with it, mainly just as an experiment, is sort of up there with water being wet in terms of surprise factor.

The net result is...well, to call it a little bit Teen Wolf really only gives me license to play with ridiculous costume teeth at 6 AM**.

And now I have 24 hours to decide what to do with this amusing face full of hair. Eviction? Landscaping? Who knows! It's like a world of possibilities! On my face!

* I may have made jokes in a meeting about how the only thing I'm shaving this month is my back. People, this is why I cannot be allowed in public. Ever.

** Not that I strictly need permission for that sort of thing. I tend to wear horns when I'm using the exercise bike these days. I suppose we should all be grateful I didn't manage some sort of epic Freddie Mercury 'stache action. That would have required additional costuming. And a piano.

I have been doing much the same thing (except with some shaving involved), and now I have a nice herd of mostly-tame chin hairs that I've been cultivating all month. The Awesome GF is fascinated by them, and I am becoming rather fond of them as well. My facial hair is not as prodigious as yours, so the effect of letting the whole mess do its thing sans shaving is, well, less than impressive. I'm going for the Tory Belleci look, more or less.

I'm usually somewhere in the sideburns and chin fuzz range, so this is kind of a step beyond.

But yeah, Mythbuster facial hair is just sort of a win in general. Well, the Hyneman could be a little terrifying, but otherwise...
