Well, it's been exactly 2 months since I last touched a razor! As promised, I've uploaded some update pics. Those of you who have been following my thread know that I've been battling with some skin problems under my beard. Over the past few weeks they've gotten progressively worse, to the point where I've been seriously considering shaving it off so I can properly treat my skin. I was breaking out so badly that last night I was convinced I wanted to shave off my beard. I put the 24 hour rule into effect and promised myself that I would at least wait it out a day so I could take my 2-month photos. I've been reading that a lot of people get great skin results from washing their face with baking soda, so I've been trying that out for the past few days. When I woke up this morning I was amazed that my skin had improved significantly (Christmas miracle? Hahaha), and I've decided to leave my facial hair alone. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully my skin will continue to get better and I won't have to get rid of the beard!

Happy Holidays everyone! As always, any comments are welcome smiley: happy
