Thread: Beard growing contest/Not shaving for a month??

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...
Here she is!
Not sure if it's so noticeable here but the beard is far thicker in the chin region than anywhere else.

I tried this for 3 days. Then I got depressed and missed shaving. Sounds funny since most people loath shaving.

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

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 going in the gas hut.... YAY for me... Anyways, one last picture to show you guys 18 days of growth. All of it is coming off with my #14 Eugene Hoppe "Frog King". I'm going for the full out 3 pass tonight!

Oh man!,
Words cannot describe my deep personal disappointment.

They barely use any CS gas anymore, I'm sure you could bear it for a few mins!!

A shame indeed. Hey, you could just grease up with bag balm or vaseline and that will seal it up! But, they might ask you if you normally carry around a can of bag balm. I feel your pain though, I had a kick ass goat going on and had to shave to do respirator fit testing at work, kinda sucked. Too bad though, it looked to be filling in good.

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 coming off. There was ONE spot on either side of my chin where I got a little 'tug' where my beard is noticeably thicker. No nicks. No Cuts. No razor burn.

I also tried the Pro-raso aftershave splash, the one with mint and eucalyptus and WOW love the stuff! I just want to keep applying more and more.

Aaaaaaaah
Now doesnt that feel better.

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

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.
