It took Chip 41 days to grow this masterpiece. He took this picture just before he shaved it off. It was scratchy, it was ugly, and it smelled. I don't mind the beard look, per se, but this thing was just hideous. He grew it as a joke, and because the guys at work would be jealous (there are several guys who work in his department who have difficulty growing facial hair...Chip more than makes up for it for all of them). The joke turned into weeks upon weeks of me pestering him to shave. I don't like being that girl who's like, "my boyfriend has to do what I say," but seriously, it was obnoxious. He finally realized it was disgusting when I picked a piece of food out of it. He had fun shaving it, first shaving one entire side of his face and walking around talking about "Two Face" from Batman.
