Muslims blamed, at least partially. BBC, not Daily Mail

A New Face

akashiver volunteered a makeover for me, which has resulted in some change of wardrobe, and a new haircut. Today I added a shave of the beard -- not so much that I want to get rid of it but I figured I'd see what it looked like now, and probably also start a new beard from scratch, since trimming was always a bit enh.

Dump of photos is here. Page of small thumbnails which link to modest 640x480 pictures which link to fullsize count-the-nosehairs pictures, per usual.

As usual, my trying to smile for the camera results in what I see as a hideous grimace.

[EDIT: added a few more. 841 doesn't seem too bad.]
