I Shaved My Beard and My Dignity

The last time I was clean shaven was August 11, 2013. The beard length you see here, takes roughly 11 months to get to. I kept her pretty tame.
This video has apparently attracted a small ASMR crowd, so enjoy!
Wondering what I look like 3 years later? Instagram: @vinnydistefano
As you will notice, I got really sad about cutting it, but change is good! This isn't my first or last beard. More beards to come. More shaves to come. More sadness to come.

[@chaseallen5515]

I'm with you on that one. I finally decided to let mine grow all the way out because I was tired of constantly shaving and Im glad I got my beard game on point. Good luck with your beard growing journey 👌

[@gatormckluskey6880]

Thank You for doing this. I had been thinking of shaving my beard now at 6 months. I have done it once, but after seeing you go from beard to hairless has changed my mind. I had a lifetime of no beard and found it very boring so I have to see where this goes!

Some beards look ordinary, but your beard really was unrivalled: a fantastic full growth, it enhanced you.

Your beard, I could hear it begging, pleading for mercy. Its screams of agony as you buzzed it off both saddened and terrified me of its painful end. On the flip side, at least beards can come back, kinda like a phoenix comes back to life

I've been growing my beard for 3,5 months now and recently been thinking about shaving it off. Thanks for this vid, I'm not anymore.

[@LooseMoose_]

I’ve been there it’s a really shitty feeling. Especially being at job for 3 years not having to shave and all of a sudden have someone tell you to shave or else you lose your job. I put up with it for 4 months and got my self a better job. It took nearly 3 months to fully grow back and I feel like myself again!

Dont feel bad, i had long pony tail for 3 years and just shaved it off. I regretted it as soon as it was done but later remind myself the reason i shaved it cause i grew tired of it, and if i were to grow it back i would be in the same predicament.

I find it's oddly satisfying to shave it off though. I do it every spring then let it grow again in winter. Though every year I seem to wait longer and longer to shave it and start earlier. I'm past the 1 mark point now.
