It's Day 5 now, and I can see the beard slowly coming back. I would estimate it's about six points right now, which is about half a pica. (For those who don't know picas or points, then you need to buy a pica pole.)

I hardly notice it right now but somebody asked me last night if it's starting to itch yet.

Itch? I didn't know anything about that. I didn't know that was supposed to happen. I don't have anything to put on it when it starts... or if it starts. Do I need baby powder or benadryl? Or is there something else?

I'll keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't itch. And if it does, I'll wear some gloves.
