For comparison purposes I'm rocking this picture Two-Face style. Also, it's first thing in the morning. Thus the hair and attire.
I couldn't remember if I was supposed to shave on Day 1 or Day 0...so I'm doing it first thing Day 1, where as usually my pictures will come from the afternoon...it's a fair compromise.
It is so.
Shut up.
In any case, I opted to make this picture for Day 1 a comparision picture. I was going to take a pic pre-shaving and then one post-shaving and splice them together.
Then I forgot.
So as I was in the midst of shaving when I remembered I just stopped at the half-way point and I took this picture to be my comparison.
It is now time for me to go back and finish the other half.

Beard Sponsor of the Day: Myself. That's right, I donated to myself. What? I'm willing to sell this space each day to anyone who donates towards my win and sends an email to let me know it happened.
Feedback:
If you want to shave that way again next year and spend the month of November growing in just half of your beard...well, nothing special will happen, save for my month-long amusement.
Yes, I would pay good money -- or even bad money -- to see that next year.
Maybe if I win this year entirely on the back of donations from Mr. Van Verth then I will do that next year just for you.
That's right. Time to put your money where your mouth is. ;-)
I must echo the opinions of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Van Verth.
All money I donate to this specific effort will be morally questionable.
I suppose it's worth noting that the sliver of doubt I leave into weather or not I would actually do the half-beard growing for next year has nothing to do with my willingness to amuse you and take your money, but only involves hesitation dependent on the approval of my employer.
I am a teacher, sometimes schools can be finicky about these sorts of things. :-)
In any case, I'm way far away from winning this thing. And I haven't seen a dime from Mr. "I would pay good money" yet.
