Bye-Bye Beard
Here’s a 3-minute video (2mb) of my girlfriend shaving my beard. Due to a time-lapse video effect (i.e., increasing the speed of the video by a multiple of 10), my face is transformed from a fully-bearded to a de-bearded state in about 30 seconds. Music provided by Andy Statman.
By the way, after a year, these guys finally shaved their beards.

That was awesome! You look 15 years younger too. The white in your beard really ages you.
I got all excited when I thought you were going to leave a barbell mustache and said “awwww” when she got rid of it. If I could grow a beard I’d totally have a barbell mustache.
This 3-minute version of the video was edited down from a 7-minute video which pauses back to normal speed at a few points — once when I have the handlebar mustache and pretend to be a biker, then again when I have a sleezy porno actor mustache, etc. (the original video also doesn’t contain the 1-minute intro, which isn’t necessary, I realize now). Jenny and I laughed our asses off watching it; it’s better than this short low-res version. The before and after shots are also more striking (more entertaining) in the original. I might post it later this week.
Phillip, at Mud Radio.
Update: That Andy Statman website is crap. But here’s the CD I got the song from — which happens to be an amazing CD.
That was fun. I have had a beard for about 8 months now. Unlike those guys who let theirs grow for a year, I’m keeping mine trimmed, but then I’m not raising money for cancer either. (I have a beard, anyone want to donate to cancer research?) It is still on a “trial” basis. Like you said in the video, there are things that are good about it (warmth, less maintenance, etc), but there are aspects that are not quite as fun. We’ll see how long it lasts. Maybe I should start a lottery for when I will get rid of my beard. The closest to the date gets half of the pool, the other half goes to charity… hmmmmmmm…
I can’t watch any of the videos hosted on my server because my server is an antique. How ironic. I need a new computer.
Amazing how many years getting rid of some facial hair takes off. The facial expressions during that video short made it well worth watching lol
PLEASE LET IT GROW BACK!!! YOU LOOKED SO WONDERFUL WITH A BEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should grow it back! I like you bearded.
Realmente tengo gusto de su barba también. ¿Puede usted ser mi papá?
Beat it, kid!
No hablo inglés. Escriba en español por favor. Phillip me es malo. Pienso que voy a gritar como un bebé. SWT aspira bolas del mono.
Le daré algunas bolas para aspirar.
No pienso que Diego lo dijo derecho. Diego no significó aspira, pero “aspire algo” como en la succión (de los testículos del mono).
monkeys inhaling testicles??? or something…i have been ostrazized by my spanish speaking associate for having her interpret these comments for me…i am assuming there is some computer internet thingy that will do this…
These comments seem depraved and beneath the dignity of SWT. I suggest Phillip bans Dora, Diego, and Boots ASAP.
