, remember when we compared shaving nightmares further back in the thread? There: last night I woke up thinking "aw s**t I shaved my beard"… for a second or two I thought it was just a dream, as had happened before, then this awful reality dawned on me… bad, bad feeling man. Don't do it, ever. Been at work today and I had to do a double take every time I walked by a reflective surface, it's that hard to recognise myself now. I feel positively chinless
and unconsciously I keep acting like it's still there, i.e. putting my head at a certain angle when putting on a tshirt, etc. I read about phantom limbs but I had no idea one could also get phantom beard
Worse thing though is that I still can't quite figure out what possessed me to do it. Hadn't even been a bad day or anything. Edgar Allan Poe wrote something about "the demon of perversity" and to be honest it's the only explanation I can think of too.
Anyway, what's done is done. I've been known to commit spectacularly stupid actions in the past and that's one more to chalk down to experience. If anything now I'm more determined than ever to grow it all back and never, ever make this mistake again. Besides I doubt I could survive another shock like this
Even more encouraging is the fact that most reactions I got today were along the lines of "why the hell did you do it?" - the only one who hurrayed at the change is a colleague of mine who's like an embodiment of the word "metrosexual". The right way is clearly marked.
