Phes, my friend...

answer no. 1: yes...you are insaneĀ smiley: tongue ( the good "insane" of course that's part of all of us when it comes to beards )

answer no. 2: No, you don't need an intervention...you need to be unleashed, which....when you start to think out of the box like when you twisted your stache tips in the shower although you just have reached a nice big circle beard...you already are smiley: happy and I just mean that in the best way possible.

Hairs grow and you can try whatever you want...you even recently found out it will not even impact your professional look...how great is that...so I can fully understand that you want to try out different things.
I for example have never even thought about a pencil stache but when I read smedstad's thread about it, I really liked his attitude to try out different styles which I also would try, but

a) as of now for me it's length and
b) I'm too damn impatient to always wait that it all grows back and try a new style, but I really like this attitude so I can just only encourage you to continue your sinusodial journey and be unleashed.

Can't wait to see your next photo update!

All the best - Tom72
