I've been noticing a lot of whiskers, fuzz and fur this month but generally nothing one would classify as a "beard." Apparently 'No Shave November' is growing in popularity. There is a band named after the phrase, an organized Facebook group encouraging the boycott, college students using it to promote prostate cancer awareness, and men from around the nation joining in the trend out of just pure laziness.
Now there's nothing wrong with a great beard. An unknown author quotes, "There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless - boys and women - and I am neither one." But a good beard need maintenance. A committed group of manly men created a website for the cause which also includes several types of beard styles you can shape your face fuzz into come December 1st:
No Shave November
Mustaches for Prostate Cancer Awareness:
MoVember
Some trendy beards of note:
Conan O'Brien's unemployment beard
Barber Jim Flacche's special stache:
Why the mustache? "The beard grows gray. Add the chops and you have a fresh retro look," says Jim.
Is this a veiled request for the return of "bearded Joe?"
