DWUWYH?: Day 32

The last time I checked in, I was on day 6 and there was no visible change in the appearance of my scalp and I didn't feel any different. On day 32, not only is there visible change, it burns and stings almost intolerably (not to mention the itchiness and, well, you don't want to know). I won't post a pic, but the best way to describe my current look is "Bearded Gorbachev."

Okay, I will post a pic but only because I was able to find this incredibly weird fake pic of actor Christoph Waltz as, you guessed it, Bearded Gorbachev.

(My beard isn't quite that good yet, but it's getting there.)

Speaking of beards, we're halfway through No Shave November. Here's my advice to the bros: if you're only growing it out for November, don't even bother. You won't get past the point where it is a constant reminder that you have a homegrown wool scarf on your face. After four weeks it starts to feel awesome and will begin to look great too.

Anyway, four more days of the treatment. Then I get to administer cortisone to my scalp for another two to three weeks while it heals. I will hopefully look "normal" by the middle of December. Merry Christmas me!
