A close shave for San Jose Sharks forward Brent Burns raised thousands of dollars for charity Friday.
Burns walked into the Sharks facility with his well-known long hair and beard.
Then he sat down for a trim from teammates.
The teammates took everything.
In a matter of minutes the ZZ Top like beard and shoulder-length locks were gone.
Burns had a clean-shaven face and a bald head.
The hair cut had a purpose.

It was to raise money for two charities. One helps military families and another funds cancer research.
Fans who donated $50s or more will get a signed before and after photo of Burns.
The campaign raised more than $20 thousand to be split among the charities.
Is this even the same person? A great day for charity. Thanks @Burnzie88 & @SharksCare #BurnzieBuzzCut pic.twitter.com/WUbVVmtqg2 — San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) November 2, 2013
