No Shave November

I've had a full beard fairly consistently since I was 18 or so. I guess I can avoid trimming it down for the month.

No Shave November seems a bit of an easy way out . Whereas, 'Movember' has ordinarily respectable men looking like extras from '70s porn films, for a whole month.

And what's wrong with that?

It's only about half as long as I'd like now, so it will be better in another month. The girlfriend is the biggest proponent of it too. I need to put on a robe and pose as Buddy Christ.

Salanis, you look like my son.

I have honestly never heard of this. I must be this guy:

Although he has a beard, so he is more in the loop than I am!

Nothing, it's half the fun!

I did Movember a couple years ago with all the guys at work. Then we had a mustache competition at the company Christmas party, and the grand prize was a mustache-shaped cake (think like bushy cartoon mustache, like the one on the Natty Bohemian guy). I didn't win, mine was pretty lame, the guy that won had a huge bushy mustache after like 2 weeks, I dunno how that happens.

Currently though, I'm in the middle of the better half of a deal I have with Mrs. Twin_Cam: April through September I am clean-shaven, and October-March I can grow whatever facial hair I want. She hates beards and really any facial hair, and it's hot in the summer, so it works out. But right now...I haven't shaved at all since early October, not even a trim. Kind of just seeing what my face will do if I let it go haha.
