    I was going to pm you and ask if you are in the military you answered that already. I wish I could pay to grow a beard for a month but the US Army has huge image issues. Right now I have to shave 7 days a week currently using a DE and some of these blades feel like I scraped a brick across my face. One of these days I will have a straight I am not sure Afghanistan is a great place to start learning.

    Good luck on your beard growing I hope you win.

    Swedish armed forces is a little strange, you either need to be clean shaven or have a beard, nothing in between!

    Now you are starting to get out of style. I watched a show tonight interviewing a bunch of actors and they all had the 3 day old look. Of course for those wimps it probably was 2 weeks!

    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......
