I am teh sexah

Sam Hart

My ex-wife hated my beard. This was unfortunate for her because I had a beard for many years while we were married. I had a beard partly because shaving bothered my skin, and partly because I was at the U of A Physics Dept. and everyone had beards.



My current wife, Jessica, likes my beard. She likes me with long hair and a beard... has something to do with her attraction to hippies, I'm sure. However, now I've actually discovered a shaving method that doesn't aggravate my skin (I use a Merkur with shaving soap and a brush which only sometimes results in accidents), so I find I'm actually shaving more often than I used to (much to my wife's chagrin). I primarily stick to a Van Dyke (often incorrectly labeled a "goatee"), so I usually still have some facial hair. But every once in a while I get sick of it and shave it all off and start with a clean slate.



Well, today, I decided to play a little trick on my wife and see if I can find a facial hair type that even she wouldn't like. In the last few months I remember reading something about a "neckbeard", which is a beard so odious that it seems universally disliked.



Naturally, I had to have one.

Hello, ladies

I like how the impending baldness combined with the neckbeard frames my face like some sort of very sad lion's mane:And some miscellaneous action shots:Anyway... here's hoping my wife doesn't see this page before she comes home :-)
