"      Ben Garvin has created the hands-down best stop-motion video dedicated to magical facial hair of all time. Hell, it might just be the best beard-based clip we&amp;#039;ve ever seen, period. After deciding to shave his (truly majestic) facial forest, Garvin, who&amp;#039;s a photojournalist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press when he&amp;#039;s not producing follicularly-themed footage, decided make the most of his shearing experiment. &amp;quot;Never let a good beard go to waste,&amp;quot; as his YouTube description of the clip proclaims. The auteur explained more on his blog:  I built this stop motion video over time, lots of time. I originally thought I&amp;#039;d sit down and shave my beard and make a video but, as I quickly realized, stop motion videos can&amp;#039;t be made quickly. And I had more and more ideas as to how to make it fun, which made it take even longer. Shot mostly in my dining room, I set up my iPhone 5 on a little tripod and took a photo every 5 to 10 seconds.  Cue all sorts of beardly wizardry, appearing and disappearing objects, and, naturally, eventual consumption by shaving cream. The video has since gone viral, racking up over 100,000 views since it debuted yesterday. Of course, Garvin saw that one coming:  I knew this video was a hit when I showed it to my 7-year-old son for the first time. He laughed so hard a small puddle appeared at his feet afterwards \u2014 a high bar!  It&amp;#039;s well worth a viewing. So stop what you&amp;#039;re doing right now, click play on the video above, and then sit back and enjoy the best two minutes of your day. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
