I work in heath care and November is health awareness month for men. Particularly for prostate and other sensitive non talked about issues. Check out the link for Movember, I think you'll like it. Not only do you not have to shave, you can do it for a cause.
I would ask my man to join, but he stops shaving in September and then molts again when the spring flowers bloom. We've been together over 7 years and I've yet to see his upper lip or chin. It must be love.
Good luck and be hairy for prostate health!

1. Shave October 31. That way, if you want to, you can monitor your progress with others'. Just a fun idea.
2. Personally, I'm against any trimming. I know technically it isn't shaving, but still, if you're going to do this, why not go all out?
3. Click Lori's link to learn more about health awareness for men.

Overall, I like this idea.; ▶ Reply to This

I think it's a great idea. Crystal, I've thought about not shaving my legs for a month in protest of my BF having such a hairy face all winter. I'm not sure I could make it a month. Ewwwww. Good luck if you try. Seth, I also think if your going to do this, go all out. No trimming, nothing. Full face beard!

You know how in the latest vlogbrothers video in response to Dan Brown's notions of tribes, Hank talks about our "tribe" doing something?

This could totally be one of those somethings.; ▶ Reply to This

Someone explain to me when, exactly, showing that you can be lazy enough to not bother with basic hygiene became a) something to be proud of, b) an achievement, and c) related to men's health in a positive way?; ▶ Reply to This

It's like... HAIR. Growing out of your... FACE.
Just contemplate that for a minute. It's kind of a miracle.; ▶ Reply to This
