After months of teasing, the reigning Bachelor finally said goodbye to his headline-making facial hair on Sept 1. Why now? Well, he promised to shave it off if the Instagram crypto account @BlockFi received 50,000 followers.

James told PopCulture that the whole process took three hours to complete, confessing, "I've never had something so polarizing on me even when I had dreads."
