Tragic Trim

I’ve been hinting at it for awhile now, I think ai outright said it yesterday. I’m in need of a beard trim. Even for my own comfort and well being I can admit that. It’s been a fun experience but when reading my novel it felt odd looking beneath my chin as it rested on the pillow. I suppose that was the motivating factor. Let me start this by declaring that I DON’T OWN A BEARD TRIMMER OR CLIPPERS!!!!! Everyone that sees the videos below are amazed that I don’t own these items. This is my first real beard of my entire life. I’ve dabbled in this direction a couple of times sure, but never to the point that I needed to trim it. Usually after a couple of weeks or maybe a month I’d scrap the whole thing and move on. I’ve never achieved beard status until now. With that preamble being stated, you should watch the video.

Now that you’ve watched the tragic trim, I’ll just expound a bit on my experience. I was trying to keep things relatively even as I went. I am fully aware that I wasn’t using the appropriate tools. I do regret not watching some kind of tutorial prior to starting, I’m sure I could have gleaned some helpful tips. But here we are. You can clearly see my disgust with the whole process whilst it’s happening. There is another video, trying to salvage the mistakes I’ve made.

So there you have it. The third video of my COViD cuts playlist on YouTube. I’ve been mulling it over all day and using my phone camera as a mirror to examine the carnage. Except for an enormous spot under my chin where I got way too close it’s fairly even length and colour. My long standing plan was to transition to a goatee then a mustache but I’m starting to think that I can try and regrow the beard. I have another two months of professional quarantine left to see what I can do. Maybe I’ll have to go get a trimmer or clippers to be ready for the next pandemic. They say there will be more, heck I see bubonic plague was confirmed in China today, who knows what the future holds?!
