Day 15 -- The Cause

Here is the latest photo documentation.

Day 15. In light of today, Cole and I have decided it is appropriate to unveil the newest element to our beard-growing endeavor -- raising beard awareness.

That's right. Men have facial hair. It's science. For years, men have been hiding this little known fact through a daily ritual known as shaving. Since the advent of shaving, men have dealt with a plethora of complications such as cuts, razor burn, ingrown hairs and money wasted on products like razors, shaving cream and aftershave. Today, on Day 15, we are advocating a cause. Men, it is OK to proudly bear the facial hair that has been gifted from a higher power. Today we climb the mountain of the blogosphere and urge all men to heed the call of our valiant cause and break free from the chains of their morning shaving routines.

Now ladies, we are fully aware of the dark side of facial hair. We've often heard your complaints of whisker burn and red chin-itis. We also understand that the phrase "Who wants a mustache ride?" is not funny outside the realm of "Super Troopers." But, as part of advocating our cause, we also have taken the stance that in order to truly love us for who we are, you must also accept the fact that men grow facial hair. It's a hard task, we know.

It'd like to close this with a Spanish proverb: "Chins without beards deserve no honor."
