Movember 2011

I overcame my fear, changed my look, from full beard to a single mustache.
It´s MOVEMBER
Movember (a neologism that is a portmanteau of the slang word "mo" for moustache and "November") is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November.
Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and depressionIn 2010, Movember merged with the testicular cancer event Tacheback
Being a baldish grey-bearded man since the late 60s (well, color has changed in line with age) makes removing of the hair in my face a much bigger challenge than growing a mustache above the upper lip. However, if  supporting the Movember movement I have to sacrifices some good looking style and swap into a new one. At least for a shorter period.
If you have not started yet, for the rest of the month razors should be forsaken as mo’s of varying lengths, shapes and colours are grown.
