Light and power

I shaved my beard off. After almost 8 years, I decided it was time to let some of my friends and family see what my chin looks like (and see the scar in my lip that almost none of them had seen before).

It caused quite a stir at work, where I have always had a beard, and a big one at that. I could also wander around and find people who didn't recogise me.

So Alfredo bought me a battery-powered razor - just a normal 30-zillion blade dispoable cartridge safety razor, but it has a built-in vibrator. Funnily enough, it works better than almost anything I have tried before.

And if you want a photo...

... and really have no idea where to look for one ...

... then you might be out of luck.

Or not

(If any W3Chien reads this, and knows how to find the photos from last time I shaved, and can send me a copy, I would be grateful).

I'm in London, Still...Ordago...

You definitely look 20 years younger.

seconded. But on the photo you're also missing the glasses, which probably adds to the overall effect. So do you feel like a different person now that you look like a different person? (c;=

Looking better indeed! How about cutting your hair too, when you're at it? p:

I wonder how the officers treat you at the immigrations.

@evamen: Thank you Miel!

@anyone who wants to see me with no hair: Maybe one day. Hoy no.

@saito, I don't go through immigration very often. And my passport photo isn't what I looked like before, either.

@GreyWyvern: 20 years?!?!!? How old did you think I was?

Give us the real chaals back!!

I found a photo of me and you with a little beard. That was when we first met, I think, in Boston in November 1999.

Excuse the crappy quality of the photo. Back then I was using a vintage DSC that was feeding on floppy disks :)
