No Shave November is almost over, but Ted Cruz's "beard" looks like it's just seconds old.

If you zoom in on the photo of Cruz, you'll notice that dark area around certain parts of his jawline (and not at all his chin) appears to be hair. Not a shadow. Not dirt. Hmm. Fascinating.

If staring at Ted's bare chin has boggled your mind a bit and you've forgotten what a beard looks, shift your gaze to the two men behind the Texas Senator who definitely have beards. See the difference?

There are several theories floating around as to whyexactly Cruz decided to go grunge, but those who aren't overthinking the reasoning behind the facial hair are just plain appalled at how comically bad it looks.
