Christmas Beard 2008

Here it is, two-and-a-half glorious weeks worth of beardage. And the tragic end.
 

 
Jess is happy because it's all going away.

 

 


Probably the weirdest thing I tried. And it looks like I'm trying to look hard. 'Sup.

Who doesn't love a good mustache (more mustache pictures to come...)?

My best Charlie Chaplin impression. Notice the lack of any (colored) hair directly beneath my nose. That's probably my weakest "growing spot."

So sad.

But this is why it's worth it. :)

What a shame...to be honest though, your beard looks pretty good when it comes in. I am a fan. Mine looks much worse and is much spottier. Whatever it takes to keep the misses happy though :).

Jess said...

Brad, you are one extremely good looking man.

I have to give it to you that the beard looked good on ya... but nothin' beats a smooth face for your sweet hunny to kiss on!
Being a non-BYU student anymore... Spenc only shaves on Saturday nights. Oh how I love his weekend face!! :)

Mandy said...

I love this. You so funny. And I love Jess's face in the last picture.

I'm not a facial hair fan. Men, women, doesn't matter. Luckily, my man only grows his on deer hunts.

Jealous.

Two and a half weeks of not shaving makes my face look like a sick, dying ferret crawled onto my face and chose to die there. Not on my entire face mind you, it mostly died on my neck and lower jaw, and then died in patches on my cheeks.

Stupid ferret.

I really like the way you tell this story...very entertaining. That was a pretty masterfully grown beard. I'm glad you had fun with different looks as you were shaving it off :)

Darin said...

Your pictures are really choice. Nice work.

I love the progression of it. I'm in the same gene pool as my brother (obviously) except I've got it worse. Two and half weeks and I don't even get a ferret. I get the beginnings of something that looks like it should be on a witches wart. Even Shaggy from Scooby-Doo has it better than me, you can at least see his from a distance.

Brad, I along with you (and quite unlike my brothers) am able to grow immense amounts of hair. Haters can check this out: http://non-nonsensicole.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Anyway, I like the mutton chops. I would make sure and bring them back for your first job or medical school interviews.
