What do big ears mean?
I blame it all on waking up way too early this morning. I woke up at 3am and didn't have much to do. First I watched a movie, The Holiday, then I tried to figure out what to do next.
Since it was still dark I didn't have anything to do outside...
And then it hit me. Start shaving off random bits of hair! Like that clump you see over there on the left.
That used to be my beard. Goat-beard, actually. Goatee, if you will.
And yes, there's a lot of gray in that pile. Too much, in fact.
These two pictures show the intermediate steps on my face. I'd been hiding behind this hair for well over a year now and my skin was definitely not ready for prime time. In fact, it was quite a shock to feel the air on my chin after so long.
The two picture below are before and after shots of my beardedness. Should I grow it back or does my denuded face not need censorship?
The thing I notice the most is that my ears are so damn big! I don't seem to notice that when I look in the mirror each morning. We're talking Dumbo size. Maybe what I need is longer hair to hide those things.

Anyway, what do I think?
I like beards.....my late daddy had one.
As for your ears - they're not that big... :-)
Michele sent me to see what you've done to beardiness....

I just added mine back- so the universe ( of facial hair) is still in balance.
TW, thanks! The blue eyes are just a diversion to keep people from looking at my huge ears. I'm glad it works.
CQ, I actually called Chris within a minute of posting this. I wanted to know what she thought. When I did the shaving she wasn't up yet so I had no idea how she'd react. She likes me without the beard more but now I'll have to be a lot more careful about kissing and stuff like that since there's the razor burn issue.
Your ears are not big! Wouldn't you look silly with tiny little ears?
Are you reading HP?
You look younger withouthem Utenzi.
M.
P.S. No Harry patter reading on my part. I never read those series of books.
I like the beardless look too!
I almost always prefer a clean-shaven face to a hairy one, razor burn be damned! You don't look happy either way, but you look fine.
You look younger sans beard.
Good thing Chris liked your new look after-the-fact!
Bob-kat, I have been compared to a donkey a few times in my life--and not always favorably. And not always to the front end either. *sigh*
Trim the moustache a little, grow back the beard. The gray is good, too. (I am a fan of facial hair...)
I, for one, can not wait until my husband goes gray. I will shave him bald if he tries out that Just for Men crap.
For the record, your ears are NOT BIG. They fit your head just fine.
What can I say? I like beards.
Naturally, my vote counts for nothing, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyhow, because this is the internet and I can say what I want (as long as you greenlight my contributions. :>)
