Maybe it's just boredom. Last night I was seriously considering shaving off my beard. I went so far as to get out my shaving kit. It's a good thing I did as a glass bottle of aftershave had broken and emptied it's contents in the dopp kit. I took everything out, rinsed the stuff off, and toweled out the dopp kit and left it to air dry.
As my beard is now quite full and has been growing unhindered or trimmed since the first week of December shaving it off is a big decision. I decided to let it go and sleep on it to see if I felt the same tomorrow (today now). I'm still undecided.
One the one hand a beard is the natural state of a man's face and nothing is more masculine than a full beard. On the other hand it does make me look older.
I think I'm just bored and a bit stir crazy from being stuck here for so long. I'm going to just wait for now. No sense wasting a good beard just for something to do. I'm pretty sure I'd regret it if I shaved it off.
