I mentioned before that I was growing a beard. Well I did. A big ginger one – here it is
Today I decided I’d had enough of it so was to shave it off using the utensils at my disposal, namely a Bic disposable razor. Not ideal, but a lot better than a rusty penknife. However, as I’m a boy, I had to do what every boy does when they shave off a beard. That is, go through each of the stages of beard. And as I’m shameless (This was quite embarrassing to do in a shared bathroom in a busy hostel) I have recorded the results to share with you. So here we are
The goatee style beard
The Sgt Pepper era Beatles moustache (A personal favourite)
The standard moustache
And, we knew it was coming, the Hitler moustache
(Does this make me a racist??)
And here’s me beardless, just for comparison.
So there you have it. I like to call it the 6 stages of beard, and I think you’ll agree, it’s taken years off me – Also this will be my last entry in New Zealand, tomorrow I fly to Chile!

Brilliant Dave. There are only 3 pictures working at the moment, but brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
You make a great Hitler, it has to be said.

Almost one look per day.

Oh, please tell me there was someone in the dorm who has only ever seen you with Hitler moustache.

In response to each one in turn,
Macca – hopefully it’s all working now
Gary Wood – Sunday is my day of rest where I don’t look like anything
Robin – Fortunately no, but there was a girl in the bathroom who witnessed me carving the beatles/gay biker moustache
Nic – I’m afraid that’s as tanned as I get…
Byeeeeee

Also, somebody yesterday found my blog by typing in the phrase “growing a beard”. I’m not sure what tips the internet can give you on growing a beard other than “stop shaving”, but he (or she) must have been disappointed to find me describe not growing a beard, but beard removal. Sorry to that person!

Love the Sgt Pepper Moustache, you look great, like a thin Morgan Spurlock…
You spent much time in 24 hour McD’s?

I have to say, that is an inspirational piece of journalism. I love your expression in the full beard photo – you’re surprised, as if it just appeared overnight. There is something of the pedophile about you with the standard tache look. The goatee is my favourite, but maybe that’s just because there is more of your chest wig on show.

Any chances that you could grow another beard so we could see the “cavalier” tache? I know you had a choice – the Sgt Pepper or the cavalier. Come on! It’s what the fans want!

I did that the last time I had a beard so I opted for a different approach this time. The stages last time were
1) Full beard
2) Craig David Beard
3) The Cavalier
4) Just the moustache
5) The Hitler moustache
6) Clean shaven
So the final 3 stages were similar, although the moustache was thinner owing to stage 2, the Craig David, as that necessitates a thin moustache.
