Okay, so I saw this trending topic “Jaylen Brown no beard” and I was like, what’s the big deal? I mean, it’s just a beard, right? But then, curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to do a little experiment of my own.
My “No Beard” Experiment
I’ve had a beard for, like, five years. It’s kinda my thing. My wife loves it, my friends recognize me by it, and honestly, I just feel weird without it. But for the sake of this little social experiment, I decided to shave it all off.
First step: Mentally preparing myself. This was the hardest part, I’m not even kidding. I stared at myself in the mirror for a good 20 minutes, trying to imagine my face without all the fuzz.
- Took a deep breath.
- Grabbed my electric razor.
- Said goodbye to my old friend.
The Shaving Process: It was brutal. Okay, maybe not brutal, but definitely strange. I started with the trimmer to get the bulk of it off. Then I used my regular razor to shave off the stubble to get a smooth finish. I will record the detailed steps next time.
The Aftermath: Oh boy. When I looked in the mirror, I barely recognized myself. I felt…naked. My face felt cold, and I kept touching my chin subconsciously, expecting to feel the familiar scruff.
My wife’s reaction? Priceless. She walked in, took one look at me, and burst out laughing. “Who are you?” she said, still chuckling. My kids were equally confused. They kept poking my chin and giggling.
Going Out in Public: This was the real test. I went to the grocery store, and I swear, nobody recognized me. I felt like I was walking around in disguise. It was a weirdly liberating feeling, but also kind of unsettling. I have a coffe date with my friend, Jack, tomorrow, I really want to know whether he can recognize me. Will record and share it tomorrow!
The Conclusion
So, after going beardless for a few hours, do I understand the Jaylen Brown hype? Kind of. It’s definitely a big change, and it can totally alter your appearance. Would I do it again? Probably not. I missed my beard the second it was gone. But hey, it was a fun experiment, and it gave me a new appreciation for my facial hair. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go start growing it back.
