Operation Barbicide

Not to be outdone by my snazzy post-surgery look, Steve underwent an operation himself on Tuesday night.

Here's  the "before" shot, taken in March.

Scalpel Electric shaver in hand, he made the first cut:

Hearing unfavorable reactions from the gallery (my unequivocal "ewwww"), he continued cutting.

At this point, I was giggling too hard to hold the instruments camera steady. Still, Steve snipped away.

Steve was totally rocking the soul-patch, but he decided the hipster look didn't suit his down-to-earth style.

And so, with a few more strokes of the blade, he bared it all, from his swarthy cheeks to his adorable chin dimple.

Operation over, he scrubbed out, and gave me my first smooth-cheeked kiss of 2006.

Hmmmm, I am not convinced about the "smooth cheekiness" of said kiss-- it looks like there's still quite a bit of stubble. Perhaps he killed the razor blade before he reached the end?

Awwwwwwwwww..........what a cute series of shots! My husband used to do the annual shaving of the beard, until he lost fifty pounds and decided that the leftover double chin he had should never see the light of day again...lol...
