These are the results of 120 days without touching a hair of my head.

(You can check the mid progress here)

I'm not good at saying goodbye, and I'm even worse at saying it in English...

Anyway, Whiskerino has exceeded by far all my expectations. It has been a constant fun these four months... and also a challenge for creativity and photographic skills.

The good vibe going on in Whiskerino has been awesome.

My only regrets are missing the previous editions and not being able to attend to the throwdown.

@mackle, thank you very much for creating this "beard contest". Not only it is an excellent site, but you are a very nice guy and an excellent, supportive and helpful curator.

Also, I must thank a lot of my close persons (wife, family, friends, work colleagues) who have been helping me a lot during this.

I will miss you, guys, and I hope to meet most of you in the Moustache May...

Godspeed to all of you!!!

jclutch says:: You brought it so hard I think my first born's beard will be stringer just from me having seen your archive. It's been a pleasure growing with you everyday! Cheers sir.

aaron b says:: If you're not good at saying goodbye in English, you can simply say "hasta la vista." I'm sure enough of us have seen The Terminator to know what that means. But seriously, I have really enjoyed your photos the past 4 months. If you ever hear of a bearded white boy wandering around Zaragoza speaking broken spanish, it will probably be me, so please help me find my way to a friendly place. Take care.

Army of Whiskers says:: Your photos were truly inspirational to me. I started this thing with the goal of growing as a photographer, and it was the photos from guys like you that pushed me to grow and learn. I owe you thanks for growing and showing with me.

My wife and I made it out to Spain last year and realized it was our favorite country in Europe. We promised to come back again. Maybe someday we can share an evening over tapas.

Thanks for growing a beard with me. See you around.

Johnny Rebellious says:: You made Whiskerino a truly remarkable experience. Each one of your shots was phenomenal -- and the amount of time, effort and attention to detail that went into each one is awe inspiring. You really were one of my favorites here and one of the first beards I started following. Thank you so much for everything you did here. You are one of the greats! Take care, sir.
