I don’t normally have facial hair. It grows in sparse and patchy, Joe Dirt-style. The one time of the year where I’ll put the razor away for more than a day or two is whenever the Columbus Blue Jackets qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I let my playoff “beard” grow unchecked for as long as the Jackets play. After a week and a half, it’s itchy, irritating and it makes me feel less approachable in public (which, considering how the last couple days as gone, is A-OK right now).
As much as it gets on my nerves, I would like to keep it for a little while longer.
