Who's participating in No Shave November?

[hammer24]

Nothing silly about it. It's to support things like prostate and testicular cancer that plague the male population. Most people are unaware of that though and just think it's something fun to do.

^^^^This^^^ The spirit of the event is to raise money or awareness of male cancer! It is like all the pink stuff you see in October for breast cancer awareness. Only there is a little more personal investment in growing facial hair. Make it want you want, but that is the origin of Movember, Novembeard, No shave November.

Wheres the maybe option? I wont shave until it starts itching, which will be in a day or 2.

I stopped shaving my lip after basic training in '92, then stopped shaving my chin in '94. I almost always let the rest of it grow through the winter beginning in Oct.-Nov, old deer hunting tradition I think....

Yes, but that only actually does anything to support research charities if you either get paid to grow it or get paid to shave it for donations. Otherwise, it is just silly. Also, from everything I've heard, it is Movember that is what raises funds for testicular cancer...it was specifically started for that purpose. No Shave November is pretty silly. People confused them and think they're the same thing. Unless you're donating, it isn't raising anything other than the number of dudes with beards. Most people you'd pass on the street would simply be thinking, "hey...that is a nice starter beard".

I'm fine with being a kill-joy and a party pooper. Especially if it helps people realize that they're two different groups and only one donates, at least as a group.

 

[jeremy]

Who cares the reason...

Me personally, after having to shave everyday for 15 years, I don't at every opportunity that I can...

At least you know you are a dream killer...

Yes but I started middle of October. Gonna try and grow it till spring. So far driving me nuts with the itching.

Baby shampoor or regular shampoo and wash regularly! Thats how I got past it. I started the full beard the 20th, had the goatee started in September.

 

[sepe]

I've never used baby shampoo, mostly because I never had any around. Might have to pick a bottle up if it is better on the skin and beard. I never really experienced the itch until my beard got to the 4-5 inch mark and my skin started getting excessively dry.

 

[jeremy]

Dawn Dish soap works just as well...

 

[ThrottleJockey]

I can't wash my face with ANY soap when there's a beard going, it makes my face break out with sores of some sort. I have to just let the natural oils form and scrub it with plain water.

 

[OneBadV8]

anyone else?

 

[ThrottleJockey]

HAHA, I just remembered not to drink melted ice cream from the bowl during November...Now I need to go wash my face!

One more day! Who's going to shave? Trim? Keep it? I might trim. In need of a haircut so I'll probably clean things up a bit. Throw the 3/8 attachment on the Wahl clippers and lose about 5 pounds of hair.
