Just shaved my face with a razor for the first time in almost a year. I typically use a beard trimmer because well, when I’m completely shaved I look like I’m 15 years old. So why did I do it? We’re having a mustache growing contest at work which officially begins tomorrow, Feb. 1. Points are awarded on thickness, overall style and creativity. We’re allowed to keep a full beard until the final judging in April so I don’t have to walk around looking like a pedophile.

I think I’m going to shoot for the handlebar. Also, I’m going to snap a picture of my face every day so I can make a time lapse video when this is all over.
