You know that feeling when you’ve gone a day or two past your shave limit? Your face feels like it’s running away from your skull, you feel a little too unkempt, and you metaphorically kick yourself for not taking time to trim everything up that morning. Multiply that feeling by 1000, double it, then divide it by a fraction and you’ll be somewhere close to where Kurt Russell is right now. His facial hair, which is approaching antebellum levels of mutton chop, is quite plainly out of control. It’s got a mind of it’s own, it has three different colors, and is begging to be maintained. It’s not that we’re against this whole thing in general, it’s just that it needs proper upkeep. This past November, it actually looked okay, a little out there, but not wild and crazy. The way he’s got it now, it’s aging him more than anything. It almost looks as though it’s trying to fly off his face. We respect his commitment, but with just a little work he’d go back not just to November, but a few years.
