It's me or the dog. You decide.
Gutted I didn't have decent camera for the last few days.
I'd like to say thanks to @revgoomba for the introduction to whiskerino and thanks @mackle for making this incredible experience possible. I enjoyed taking part in this off-site (if you've read my story you'll know what I mean). I had no idea how much this would take over my life when I was brought onto the site, I lost a lot of work hours but feel I've gained a lot of friends it was fantastic to meet you all at the throwdown and the whole experience was more than worth the drop in productivitiy.

I you've read this far I should let you know that I went ahead and trimmed not long after this photo. The good news is, I'm keeping a beard of some sorts. Click to see

Whiskerino:
My Story So Far
I you're not aware of me, I'll fill you in. I'm friends with @revgoomba and have know him for 9 years now. As this year's Whiskerino rolled round I told him I was thinking about taking part and he encouraged me. However, sign up day came and went. I missed it and told The Rev I had missed it but it was cool as I didn't know if I could last 120 days with out trimming or tidying. I usually sport a neat little chin rug which can be seen in the previous Whiskerino.
However, in the name of curiosity I thought I'd give it a go on my own and keep and tumblr of it and just got revgoomba to add me as a spectator on here. I also agreed to attend the throwdown with him.
Anyways, a few folk on the site had been checking in on the tumblr from time-to-time and had given me some good feedback. When @mackle opened up the "view all" calendar button to spectators I said I would now also update my photo on a daily basis on here.
Then it happened. On Sunday 19 January mackle put out the possibilty of me being upgraded to a full official grower and shower. I was chuffed, honestly, you can't believe how big the smile was. This was a Whiskerino first (I think).
When I was just tumblin' these photos I said I might trim the moustache hair that hangs over my upper lip but, to this day, I still haven't touched it and now that I'm on here I wont go near it at all.
You'll see me on here a lot more often now and you'll also see me at The Throwdown. I can't wait!
That's all for now. Wanna know anything else? Just ask.
For those who are wondering why I'm in team shirtless, take a look at my photos before I made it onto the offical site:
