Wait for it...

"Hey, that guy still has a beard!"

Yeah, I do. Because I'm not doing a full shave until 11:59pm. There will be no 24-hour head start for me; I will start November freshly-shaven, the scent of eucalyptus oil (don't get any ideas; it's a manly scent) still lingering as I set my Mach 3 aside and gaze upon my newly-ensmoothened chin in the mirror.

Then, and only then, with the growing begin. I can already feel my follicles flexing.
