A Question to the Readers of Singh Around the World
Dear Gentle Reader,
First let me apologize for not getting a post out in the past few days. I ended up going to Lake Titicaca and the its islands and didn't have access to the internet for awhile.
A quick question to readers of this blog-should I keep the beard or not? As you know during our hike in Patagonia, Patrick and I decided to grow out our beards. I have kept a goatee for a number of years but never had a full beard. We decided to keep our beards for a full month until our hike at Machu Picchu.
Here are a few pictures of me with my beard. In the comment section of the blog enter your vote- Beard or No Beard.
Keep the beard it looks hot...as long as I don't have to kiss you. OUCH! (on many levels)

Patrick-no beard

I don't have any pre-beard bias, so I say keep it. I think you look like a bad ass!

you scraggily bastard...
actually the only way to tell you and Suneil apart now is your facial hair...it's creepy how much you two look alike when you go on your "around the world" diet!

Lose it - quickly :)

I think you look great either way!

Shave the beard on one side of your face. Dare to be different!

Keep it, it'll set your picts of this trip apart from the others. You are one with nature...

Go Amish and shave the upper lip!

Sammy, keep it and grow it out Grizzly Adams style. Why not? It's your trip, do what you want.

Try a Moustache and see how that looks.

You've always been a guy that uses his good sense Sam.
I hear that tics love to live in beards.
You decide.

Posted by: Graham | April 22, 2008 at 10:30 AM

Dear Grizzly Punjabi,
Give me an address and I'll send the razor and shaving cream.
Any more questions?

Sam, Keep the beard! You look like a total rockstar.
Posted by: Travis Stoliker | April 21, 2008 at 09:30 PM
Yeah. I agree. You're gorgeous.
Posted by: Suneil Singh | April 21, 2008 at 08:50 PM
I agree. The beard is not a good look. I know that one of the parts of your trip that you enjoy is meeting lovely ladies and as a lovely lady myself I must tell you that we do not enjoy kissing men with beards.
Your a gorgeous man. Don't cover it up with overgrown facial hair.
Posted by: Patti Dolan | April 21, 2008 at 07:56 PM
Sam, the beard is not to your advantage. While traveling in the wilderness, sure. I would have to see you again after a visit to a talented barber who would shape it appropriately. You're a good looking man and part of your appeal is your personal "transparency". The beard detracts from both.
So enjoy the break from shaving while you're on the road, but for the long-haul, I think not. RSUE
