So I stopped shaving at the end of last year.
Which sounds more lengthy than it is, naturally.
I essentially skipped the first week and at the second I just decided to let it ride.
It's roughly three weeks right now.
What I've realized is I can grow a passable moustache, some good chin hair (I did already know that), but that's pretty much it.
A nice bald spot running diagonally on my right side from my mouth to my mid-jaw makes any mutton chops ridiculous looking, sadly. I also can't grow anything else around my mouth aside from the aforementioned bits, plus a a very minor soul patch.
So, after some trimming and the like I've left my 'stache and the chin hair (as well as a slight soul patch that I've been sporting for some time*).
I'm calling it the Vlad, as it is the same facial hair as Lenin sports in some
pictures (this is accentuated by the fact that I have a shorn head). Though my chin hair is less connected to the soul patch and my chin hair is less robust (and is located primarily on the edge and underside of my chin).
Anyways, this is the closest thing I've had to facial hair*. I'm giving it until the morning to decide whether it will remain. It looks good with a hat, but I'm not sure about it with my hair as is**. I'm going to crop the top of my head shorter tomorrow and decide from there.
*This is not to mention my pretty great sideburns, which I've had for more than a decade.
** With a hat it is an accentuation of my face. Without it becomes the focal point and it isn't impressive enough to not look foolish, perhaps. We shall see. So I stopped shaving at the end of last year.
