Clean shaven, in a slightly grubby mirror. The razor is locked away.

Ballard · « **Reply #101 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 14:16 »

Man I am kind of too lazy to take a "before" picture but pretty much in all pictures of me I am clean shaven so it doesn't matter. I shaved before I went out last night and am ready to look like a tool.

Mind you this idea has been so shot down by the lady but I am doing it for the solidarity of my gender as well as to assert my manhood.

Alex C · « **Reply #102 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 14:46 »

That's right. You show 'er!

Also, I shaved. No, I'm not putting up a picture. I am lazy.

Ballard · « **Reply #103 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 15:28 »

I shaved around 8 PM before I went out and I have extra-fine sandpaper on my neck and almost nothing on my cheeks.

Scarychips · « **Reply #104 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 18:22 »

That's the latest photo of me with no "beard". Sorry for the blur.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #105 on:** 07 Nov 2008, 20:59 »

I'm not sure I could be more disappointed with how my Novembeard is shaping up.

spoon_of_grimbo · « **Reply #106 on:** 08 Nov 2008, 06:50 »

see, jimmy, THAT would be about a fortnight's growth for me, except mine would be more patchy. this is why i shaved yesterday and gave up!

ElRodente · « **Reply #107 on:** 08 Nov 2008, 12:45 »

let us do doing this

uh... hi again guys, i guess.

sean · « **Reply #108 on:** 09 Nov 2008, 17:41 »

So this is what I've been doing for week one.

This is a better view of what I've been doing.

My dad says I am growing face hair faster than he does, so I can't be doing that badly. It probably should be more than this though, my uncle had a beard in like, 8th grade (I swear to god this is no exaggeration.)

Liz · « **Reply #109 on:** 09 Nov 2008, 17:47 »

Sean can grow facial hair! This is so weird guys, you have no idea.

negative creep · « **Reply #110 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 05:21 »

I took a picture yesterday, but you can't really see anything because I took it with my webcam. I'm about as far as Sean, though. Which is kind of depressing because I'm 4 (?) years older, I think.

Scarychips · « **Reply #111 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 05:25 »

Well, I'm happy. If I compare myself to Sean, I'm growing it faster than him, and I'm 2 years younger. Also, I have more neckbeard too. I'll try to put up a photo tonight.

0bsessions · « **Reply #112 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 07:16 »

Man, when did all the people capable of growing beards stop frequenting this forum? I'm not even playing and I've still grown more beard than most of you in the last week.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #113 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 07:30 »

I have a bit of a beard, probably going to shave it soon because I just totally don't care about novembeard this year.

Novembeard status: weak.

Lady: still adamant.

I might forge a respectable chinstrap by the end of the month i guess?

Liz · « **Reply #116 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 16:34 »

Peet somehow I knew you would not really be capable of growing real facial hair. It is okay.

I had some decent growth, but I shaved. It was surprisingly even, although it is kinda hard to tell with me since my facial hair grows in kind of gingery, although you wouldn't know it from my hair color. It's the Irish in me, I guess.

De_El · « **Reply #118 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 16:34 »

Status: kind of okay? Better than expected but still patchy and gross on the cheeks. Morbid curiosity demands I stay the course!

And once again, Sam has emasculated the whole lot of you.

That is in a dark area from multiple feet away.

Bravo, Sam.

Hey, at least I'm trying. And actually posting pictures.

Skibas_clavicle · « **Reply #121 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 21:26 »

I know I say this all the time, but I love Sam SO MUCH. Real talk.

Also, Katzy, grow yr beard. Do it. It's internet tradition. Don't make the internet all sad and shit.

happybirthdaygelatin · « **Reply #122 on:** 12 Nov 2008, 04:58 »

I have wicked awesome chops that are more beardlike then uh. Train of thought derailed got to go to work. This is what I get for having Red Bull, Dots and V8 for breakfest.

Julia I dunno I am kind of thinking maybe the internet doesn't need to totally run my life anymore?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #124 on:** 12 Nov 2008, 07:54 »

I would do this except neck beards are ugly things. I have to shave every 3 days otherwise I look like someone who thinks an awesome weekend is spent rewriting Linux kernels and going to a cosplay convention dressed as the Tron guy. As a concession, I won't trim my goatee or sideburns and see where that gets me.

happybirthdaygelatin · « **Reply #125 on:** 12 Nov 2008, 22:49 »

I'm making an attempt! So I have no camera and got a haircut and trim of everything today but the sideburns I'd been sporting had complete strangers at work frequently calling me Elvis. They and my hair had gone wild since this May so yeah, six months > just one unless using bizarro world maths and numbers.

ruyi · « **Reply #126 on:** 12 Nov 2008, 23:17 »

hiiii ray

evernew · « **Reply #127 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 02:29 »

I had a shave on November 6th because of a job interview.
Since then I've been running to catch up. Also, I'll probably not stop at the end of Movember but return home with a glorious super-beard sometime in March.

Jace · « **Reply #128 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 06:29 »

My beard-fu is weak right now. But judging by my family, I'll be able to grow a full beard in just a couple of years. (apparently my dad didn't really get thick facial hair growth until he was 20)

negative creep · « **Reply #129 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 10:16 »

happybirthdaygelatin · « **Reply #131 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 19:01 »

Hello again!! Im going to have to find a way to upload pictures. Wish I had taken some before it went chop though. I think my hair was at the longest it's been, standing (when it would actually defy gravity at least) some 4 in. in a fro-like manner up. And my sideburns would have made Elvis and Neil Youngs sideburns weep and admit defeat.

KvP · « **Reply #132 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 20:50 »

Day 13 of awful, no good, very bad facial hair growth:
Very tired, with cat.
My best friend pretty much hates it and she's pretty persuasive about such things, so I might drop out early. It's really not coming in at all, anyway.

Liz · « **Reply #133 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 20:53 »

Oh come on, don't be a pansy. Man up! You can do it!

KvP · « **Reply #134 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 20:55 »

She said mean things! Mean things!

Plus, it's all itchy all of a sudden.

Liz · « **Reply #135 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 20:55 »

John I will be super nice to you if you keep going with the beard!

URGENT NEWS ATTENTION ATTENZIONE ACHTUNG

It has recently occurred to me that there are two movements in which people are encouraged to change their appearance ostensibly for charitable causes. The first is the Movember that has been discussed in this thread, in which men are encouraged to grow mustaches for research and promotion of "men's health issues." The second is "Shave for a Cure" in which people are encouraged to shave their heads for Cancer research.

Taken on their own these two seemingly unrelated projects appear to be novel, interesting, popular and innovative ways of raising awareness and soliciting funds towards the betterment of mankind. But I am able to read between the lines, and bring to you, the concerned citizen the INDISPUTABLE TRUTH about the HIDDEN LIES and SECRET CONSPIRACY that lies at the heart of these so-called "charity events."

Movember and Shave for a Cure are tools of the Left-Wing Secret Homosexual Lobby Agenda® to turn the entire world Gay and thus bring civilisation and family values as we know it to an end.

AND HERE IS THE PROOF

FIGHT THESE SHAM CHARITIES AND STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF YOUR FAMILY AND TO SHIELD YOUR CHILDREN FROM THESE PERVERTS

WHAT IS NEXT, "FUNNY HAT DAY TO BENEFIT DISEASE" AND THEY HAND OUT THESE??!!?!

End of Week Two:

It's not that bad actually.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #145 on:** 15 Nov 2008, 05:24 »

Also someone told me that if you are actually doing Movember and collecting money for it, and your mustache connects to any other facial hair on your face (i.e; it becomes a beard) then they will not take your money. I am totally not kidding.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #146 on:** 15 Nov 2008, 08:02 »

I just got this full set of official rules from the Movember website:

I guess what you're saying makes sense though Dove.

So here are my achievements for week 2.

Nothing too impressive, I'm afraid.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #148 on:** 15 Nov 2008, 13:54 »

I'm tempted to just try and go for a managed beard (I'm going to shave the neck, I don't care what the rules are, I'd just look weird with a neckbeard), even though it's already been two weeks. Would this be considered against the rules/a slight upon the Novembeard tradition?

sean · « **Reply #149 on:** 15 Nov 2008, 13:56 »

I feel like it would be but two of my friends have already done this. Neckbears are also a pretty unholy thing, so I really can't blame a dude for chopping of his neckbeard. If you can bear it you should keep it but if you absolutely cannot I think it is okay.
