Morgan is a child, Natalie is female, Tyler has had a beard as long as he has known her and it's not going anywhere, and Colin has the face of an infant and has thus never sought out a shave.
We decided to do something about one of those faces.

That's why you're paying us, right? Just do nothing. The easiest thing in the world.
And with that, here's Colin.
