Face Fungus 2

Well after two weeks of razor and trimmer free time I have once again just enough Face Fungus to have a play with. Now, before we go any further, I must first apologise for the facial expressions. I appears that pointing a camera at me makes my face go all nasty and stern looking. The only way to break this look is to do a massive smile and look like a complete idiot. No middle ground with me…

So here we have the raw face fungus. Untrimmed and totally untouched for almost exactly two weeks. It is no wonder that I got selected to be stopped at security by a man with body armour and a gun.

And today’s only real experiment was to trim back to a thin line. Not bad I feel but just not me. For one thing this is going to take more effort and precision to maintain than I can possibly muster. So no.

And so with a flick of the razor and a wrenching of the facial muscles I am left with a goatie rather lacking in length. It has been left to grow though and so we shall see if one day it can be turned into either a real goatie, a Fu Manchu or maybe a Frank Zappa. Who knows…

Oh, #2 is quite nice!!! Too bad you don't have the patience to keep it trimmed like that. But the regular goatee is lovely as well... and is one of my first choices always.

Will have to see the Zappa look to decide... have never been crazy about a bit of mouse fur dangling from one's bottom lip.... ;-)

Face Fuzz?

Get the fuck out there and get pissed my friend!

This is promising.

I'd still prefer to see you develop a proper paintbrush moustache, but failing that I shall look forward to seeing how the Zappa-esque look develops.

I doubt if you have the patience to cultivate a real Fu Manchu. Prove me wrong!

I can imagine that the fungus would provide interesting texture... while I loved rubbing a certain someone's beard, it did leave my sensitive skin rather red!

You look quite sinister in the beginning.
