DANGER: You are entering a world of complete self indulgence.

 I know some people can't or shouldn't grow a beard, but here I am. 

I've never really tried. It's pretty patchy. 

Razor blades are expensive. 

I may never cut my hair again, either. 

I'm at this stage where I want to keep everything that is really mine

for as long as possible, and not replace it.  

My mistakes. My pain. My teeth. My hair. 

Anyway, I read it takes four months to see the patches fill up

for most...

I bet it takes a year for me.  Beard is probably patchy from all the scar tissue.  

I had bad acne, ingrown hairs, and spent some time skidding on my face after many failed

attempts at childhood acts of coordination. (walking, tree climbing, bicycle tricks, stairs, etc...).

Welcome to my Blog. 

Don't stray from the path. 

I am your host.
