60k Hand Challenge...can't shave until completed

Ok, here's the deal. I'm angry at myself for not playing my best at 2-4 6 max during my downswing. I ended up dropping about 13-14 buyins, and while I ran very poorly, I probably dropped between 3-5 buyins just due to tilt. This is unacceptable when the rent depends on poker. I took a break and went on an 8 day cruise with Slider and came back refreshed.

Luckily, I play overrolled, and still have well over 100 buyins for 1-2 no limit. I am dropping back to 1-2 nl 6max until I have over 35k again in my roll (I'm probably around 25kish, give or take a few k, after the cruise expenses).

I feel like I deserve to be punished for spewing, and also for not playing enough hands last month. I grow facial hair very sparsely and look like crap if I don't shave. Therefore, I will not shave until I play 60k hands. I thought about doing a monetary goal, like can't shave until I make 5k, but I decided it would make me more results oriented than I already am. This will be a decent challenge as I am going to see my entire family on the 19th (cousins, grandparents, etc) and it will be unfortunate if I go there looking like a hobo.

I will update this thread every few days with graphs and pictures of my gross facial hair.

Here is the initial pic:

If anyone else would like to join me, post in the thread and remember to update every few days. Wish me luck!
