This week proved to be an interesting one in the No-Shave-November challenge. My hair has grown out of its "tiny needle" phase and has moved on to the "itchy-as-if-I-have-fleas" phase.

To make the constant need to scratch my neck more entertaining, I went bed shopping this weekend. As I walked into each store, I felt a combination of judgement and being looked down upon. It was as if most salespeople wondered how I could afford a bed when I did not seem to have any money to shower or shave.

This week officially marked more facial hair than I have ever had before. I know the pictures cannot do justice to the differences between day one and day 15, but in person it shows.

To those who choose to sport an unkept beard: I felt the judgement this weekend and it is real. Society accepts facial hair as long as it is well groomed and properly maintained, but to those that don't subscribe to that notion: I have newfound respect for you all.

This is part three of the Collegian's series on No-Shave-November. Two Collegian editors have agreed not to shave during the month of November, and we will track their weekly progress in the Collegian. If they shave, their consequence will be having their legs waxed.
