After growing out my beard for about 3 months, the time has come.

     

I guess it would be best to fully trim and shave it off, but I need baby steps.  Maybe the time will come when I’ll need to use an N95 instead of a PAPR, but it’s a first step for now.

Many healthcare workers are shaving off their beards, just take a look at Dave – he clearly shaved today – right?

Thanks to some of the kids and Caroline, who gave me some moral support afterwards and cheered me up!
