Mick, when duty calls.... I really had no choice due to the renewal of my gas mask fit test :(

LOL no backsies. Brooksie wants backsies! Kidding. Your shave went super fast too! Nice vid man!

If i knew that the Tuckmar I gave you shaved that well I might have just kept it.... I only shaved once with her before gifting it to you :)

Sorry about the wait. Here are the pictures of my shave!

LOL the CS gas is like... breathing hot sauce. I don't really mind it and they use such a small amount these days.

Other than the first time I shaved with no cuts or razor burn, this is the most rewarding/best feeling shave yet.

I'm waiting on the wife to get off her phone so I can pull the pictures off of it.

YES! No more itch!
I do have two ingrown hairs though. One on each side and both are in my sideburn area close to my jaw.

OH, forgot to mention. Thanks to Maksim for giving me my crazy hard Ozuku! This stone produces such buttery keen edges!

Pics are coming asap! My 3 pass turned into a 2 pass shave. If anyone ever had doubts about those vintage #14's, you can squash them now. Two passes to BBS! I couldn't even feel the 18 days of growth...

So.... I've got to cut the beard growing contest short. Har har. I'm doing a 'gas mask refresher' course and you have to be clean shaven to ensure you're getting the proper seal on your mask before...

Nope, I get it man. I'm shaving the wife's legs tomorrow with one just to get the smell of the lather and a sharp thing in my hands that isn't called a prick :)

I guess I'll throw mine up too. I said every day but a sick baby has kept me from doing everything I want to...

Not sure if it's so noticeable here but the beard is far...

Seriously Matt??? Can't wait to hear this one. I also really like how your mustache connects up into your nose :)

1000 views, woohoo!

Matt (ironsidegnr) is doing a video of his month old beard removal. I'll probably get the wifey to take a couple pictures but I haven't totally decided yet.

The ITCH has started though......

It's been a few days since the last picture. I'm on day 8 now. Enjoy :)

I spent a few months in that Desert, Kandahar to be exact. I wish i was using a straight when I was there!
Be safe my friend!!

Dirtbag..... :)

Thanks for your additions to the thread guys!

I agree it's great to have some whiskers during the cold months. I used to grow a beard for hockey playoffs but the Leafs haven't been making it...

Beard growing contest rules state that we can't trim our beards; they are supposed to grow wild. There is no 'well manicured' beard here. I feel like a dirtball too.

We're both in the military and it's a MUST shave 5 days a week. It's the Queen's rules... :(

Matt, upload pics as often as you can, let's keep track of them! I doubt i'll do a video of my shave but i'll get the wife to take pictures while i'm shaving! One blade for a month of growth is going...

My cheeks and chin and jawline are almost always bbs but the hollow part of my neck under the jawline has never been truly bbs when felt against the grain. No idea how to get in there!

It's been a few days and I haven't uploaded pictures to monitor beard growth. Baby/wife/dog stuff really destroys motivation late at night. BUT, here is today! This is 5 days of growth, only 23 more...

New pictures: day two with no shaving. Feeling like a bag of dirt already!
