grow something vaguely resembling a beard by Sunday 11th

I think “vaguely” resembling a beard is the key.

Yes. The hair has actually started to get shorter. That’s right. Even my face hates me.

Yeah, well I can see where it could end up, but it’s still not decent enough to qualify as a beard.

Yeah so, no one told me how much this frickin itches.

I shaved some of the excess area around my neck and it’s given what I’ve got more definition. I can see where the beard will be but it’s still just scruff right now.

I asked my dad how long it took him to grow his beard. He said four years. Thanks dad.

I’m on holiday until the 11th so I thought this would be a good time to stop shaving and see what I can muster. So far it’s not looking good. Nice even distibution, good colour, just not thick and fast enough. I give this goal about a 50% chance of success.
