This collection of half-bearded men and women remind me of my half-bearded era. Actually, I think I had two of them. First, in college, just for fun for day and a half. Split personality, I called it.

Then, a much better job when I lived in Oregon. I decided to shave before I returned home (a gift for my mother) and did half a face at a time.

Hurty Elbow (the link above) has a nice collection of photos that he collected from the web.

He made reference to some half-beard research by Pete Hickey. I think you should check this one out. Does a beard really keep you warmer?
