At that point, the hair on my chin was about two years old, with me trimming it every now and then.

I decided to shave it off and grow a full beard during the month of November because I have never had a full beard before.

Here I am after 25 days of hair growth with little trimming.

Having a full beard was a good experience. I liked how I looked and I liked how it felt with one exception. I did not like having a mustache. It always got in the away of my activities which include eating and kissing my lovely wife.  I decided today that it had to go. I had some fun with different hair designs as I cut it off and I took pictures for some proof.

Stage 1: Shave off Mustache

Stage 2: Make myself kinda look like Wolverine

Stage 3: Mutten Chops with a Goatee

Stage 4: Arrow Sideburns

I still have the arrow side burns as I write this, but I think I will remove them before work tomorrow.

Update: I did shave them off soon after the picture was taken.
