The many faces of Byron Halsey

Byron has no problem growing a beard. If he doesn't shave for a few days, he's well on his way. So you can imagine what he looked like after a couple of months of not shaving.

Did any of you know that beards are stinky? I don't think it's a well-known fact, but they are. And I don't think it's really preventable unless the beardee washes it 5-7 times per day. That's a lot of washing. And you know what beards smell like? Barf. Yep, that's right. All the tiny little food particles and saliva in there smell like throw-up. I know it's gross, but I just have to explain why I kept begging Byron to shave his beard. It's not just that it makes him look a lot older, like a lumberjack, or even that it's scratchy, it's that his beard really stinks... literally.

Unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture, but here are some of the many faces of my handsome husband. I must say I prefer his usual stubble slightly growing in because he hasn't shaved for a day or two look.

And on to the photos...

This face is just SO Byron:

He was seriously considering leaving it this way.

Hmm... what could some pomade on the ends of the moustache and a little twisting of the fingers do?

Is it possible not to laugh at this picture?

Sorry for the semi-nude photos. He usually takes his shirt off to get a hair cut or shave his beard. Keeps from getting all those poky little hairs in his shirt and he can jump straight in the shower.
