8AM Note: I found a razor of undetermined provenance
and – risking tetanus - used it to shave this morning. I am certain that my secret beard is much more
evident and – if my wife doesn’t at least acknowledge it today – she is clearly
choosing to ignore it. That or she thinks that the pandemic has gotten the better
of me and I’m just letting myself go – as if!
The beard neckline continues to vex me. Three fingers above
the top of the Adam’s apple is still too low for this phase of the operation, so
I went to approximately four. Finding the
curvature from there is too much art and not enough science for my liking. I
have seen actual beard neckline curve guides being purveyed online, but I can’t
imagine they’re one size fits all. Perhaps my project for today will be to surreptitiously
craft myself a custom beard template. I
am sure there are far less productive things being done during the quarantine
(though I can’t think of any at the moment).
The challenges mount and it would be easy to succumb to
doubt, but I remain resolute.
