No Shave November?

[ThePlague]

Who's doing it? I think I might, but I still kinda got those patchy beard hairs on the sides, which is annoying as hell. That, and my legs are hairy as fuck, so waxing would NOT be an option.

[Kornman00]

paladin and I are doing NSN...but only with our facial hair; I never heard of any other part of the body needing to be touched :s

[ThePlague]

Supposedly, if you don't go through with it, you're 'supposed to' wax your legs. NSN is about growing facial hair.

[Futzy]

I never heard of any other part of the body needing to be touched :s
I feel sorry for your girlfriend.

[Kornman00]

I meant for NSN >_<

[Timo]

Movember - couple of my flatmates are doing it.

[thehoodedsmack]

Movember

That's what I've heard it called here, too. My brother's doing it.

[Hotrod]

I haven't shaved in about two weeks, so my facial hair is getting pretty long already. But sure, I'll give this a try cause it could be fun :)

[Rob Oplawar]

I've already got a nice beard going. Why stop now? NSN permits grooming, I hope. Otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to have to say no- I do care about my appearance, you know.

[Bodzilla]

No shave november???

Movember for the win.

[Hotrod]

Wait, is there any reason behind not shaving? Or is it just for shits and giggles? I'm in either way, but I'm curious to know.

the power of allah compel you the burly beard will grant you 100 virgins.

[NuggetWarmer]

Started this morning by shaving off the old beard.

[Amit]

Snap. I want to try this, but I dunno how I'll get through the month and still look presentable. I grow a full face of facial hair in just 5 days. In any case, I start by shaving today.

[Futzy]

I'd do it but it takes me 5 days to grow a 5 oclock shadow. I guess thats a good thing though.

[Dwood]

I'll try Movember. Moustache ftw.

[ODX]

I tried this last year and succeeded.

Actually, I didn't even know it existed.

I was 14 and wasn't even growing much noticeable hair in the mustache area in the first place :P

[ICEE]

^ leetle teeny tiny man know nothing of beard.

Actually neither do I. I come from a nearly hairless people. But I'm participating in this, provided a job interview doesn't get in the way. Anyone say we post pics?

[Amit]

Fuck pics, videos for full effect.

[Hotrod]

But I've never submitted a pic or video of myself on here before :(

[Cortexian]

I'll participate to the point where I forget about it and shave... Though I usually only shave if I got something specific to do that day where it may be required.

[STLRamsFan]

No way, just shaved today anyway. Gotta keep myself fresh for the ladies you know. ;)

sweet

[Corndogman]

Might be doing it. I don't clean shave anyways, just use a trimmer to keep stubble. My friends and I already had "Mustache August" and "Sideburn September." I already know that I'm not gonna be able to grow any more than I usually do, I go weeks without shaving anyways.

[CN3089]

man i'm trying this but tweezing your mustache hurts a lot!

[ICEE]

I shaved. oh well. I tried growing out my burrd just to see how much burrd i can get about a month ago, and it wasn't amazing.

[ThePlague]

Next monday i'll take a pic of my progress on the 'stache.

[El Lobo]

Hey guys being a senior in college may sound great but its really only stressful because you have to find a job. And then you work for the rest of your life. How depressing.

:lobo:

[Bodzilla]

that sucks tremendous amounts of Horses dick.

[Rob Oplawar]

I hate having a beard! It's all scratchy. I wanna shave. :C

[Sel]

that's disgusting.

also fuck no, this entire idea is gross.

[Futzy]

Ya I shaved.

[Bodzilla]

(had to shave having a competition with my gf. the mustache stays off as long as she stays healthy and watches her weight lol)

(had a mustache that had only been shaved once up till last week :()

[MXC]

Pfft. Wimps.

Still going here.

Will post a badass beard by December 1st.

[Rook]

oh there's nsn going on? i haven't shaved yet because of laziness.

[SiriusTexra]

Me and the work buddies are all doing this....though co boss is a massive faggot and won't cause he's a massive faggot.

Though, mine will be fairly pathetic by the end, will look more like gooch fuzz than a moustache.


Also, wat, movember website just linked me to this:

:maddowns:

[Cortexian]

I'm still going, but my facial hair isn't exactly the fastest growing unfortunately. I wish I had the ability to grow wicked sideburns.

[Bodzilla]

this thread needs more Pairot.

In fact, every thread needs more pairot.

[MXC]

Oh crap, I forgot that I was supposed to shave everything off to prepare!

No problem, I didn't have anything on my cheeks on Oct. 31st, so I'm still good.

[cheezdue]

I'm staring to have Shaggy's beard.

[Hotrod]

I'm staring to have Shaggy's beard.
Me too, although I don't look bad with a beard, if I do say so myself.

[ICEE]

My freshly shaved skin feels so smooth. mmmm

[Rob Oplawar]

I think I'm going to give up and shave. I hate this beard thing.

[Bodzilla]

take one for the team rob.

[Limited]

I can grow pretty long stubble in a few days, but I've never been able to grow full on beard, I havent shaved for few days, might leave it growing unless I get a job interview.

[Amit]

Me too, although I don't look bad with a beard, if I do say so myself.

Same here except there's a very defined point where it stops looking snazzy and starts looking messy. I still haven't figured out how I'm gonna tame it without compromising the rules.

Problem solved.

[thehoodedsmack]

You guys are growing beards, too? Not only does "Movember" sound better than "No Shave November", it also affords you the freedom of keeping it moustache-oriented. That's the way to do it.

[MXC]

Possibly reaching the centimeter mark with the cheek hair.


Lookin' good.

[Cortexian]

I've pretty much reached my plateau, but I still won't shave as long as possible.

[Rob Oplawar]

I couldn't take it anymore. I hate having a beard. I cut it off.
:(

[Hotrod]

My beard is getting annoying as hell, especially when I drink orange juice cause it gets into it and makes everything sticky :/ Still planning on keeping this up though.

[Bodzilla]

oh btw guys, theres a reason it's called MOvember and not large annoying beard november.

think about that for a minute

fucking lol fellas, lol.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movember


Rules

On Shadowe'en (October 31st), the complete moustache region, including the entire upper lip and the handlebar zones, must be completely shaved.
For the entire duration of Movember (Movember 1st - 30th inclusive), no hair shall be allowed to grow in the goatee zone - being any facial area below the bottom lip.
There is to be no joining of the moustache to sideburns.[1]

You see this is what happens when something australian gets imported to the rest of the world!
F'in ScrubZ

i've been laughing my ass off hearing about you mutts growing beards and complaining for half a month.

Good day.

[Yoko]

Movember (a portmanteau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau) of the words 'moustache (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moustache)' and 'November') is an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November. The event has been claimed to have been invented in 1999 by a group of Australian men from Adelaide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide,_South_Australia).
Everyone knows you aussies do everything backwards :realsmug:

[n00b1n8R]

Haven't shaved in 2 months, got a small tuft of red fluff on my chin, can I hit puberty now please?

[Rob Oplawar]

Hey, I never heard of Movember. "No-shave November" as in "grow out your beard" is pretty common around here. Somehow I doubt you Aussies are the only ones who ever have ideas. Also, I look like a total creeper when I just have a moustache. Also, I don't like it when people criticize my incessant whining. :<

[Bodzilla]

this is what your supposed to have grown rob

OMG, that even looks Australian.

[Rob Oplawar]

Does the thread title say movember? No. It says no-shave November. I love how you're convinced I wasn't trying to grow a beard, I was actually trying to grow a moustache but I was doing it wrong.
Growing a moustache to raise awareness for disease is all well and good (and it works very well too, doesn't it- moustaches look very diseased to me), but do you know why people grow beards here in November? Because it's fucking cold.

e: So diseased. Especially that monstrosity. It looks like a caterpillar died on his face. I hope that's not what a typical Australian looks like, because that is one ass-ugly moustache, I have to say.

[Amit]

Aight, Rob, he's just having fun. I'm all for No Shave November. A mustache alone works for some people. For most people it makes that look like a creeper, myself included. So fuck mustaches.

Here's a shitty webcam preview of what I have so far (i'll get better pics later):

yncT-zEZYfk

This is probably the longest I've ever grown my beard. I'm trying to keep it as long as possible before my mom makes me shave it. My excuse is that I have no Fusion cartridges left.

[Bodzilla]

heres a better handlebar mustache

Wait, so I only had to not shave for 3 days in order to participate?

(yes, I'm a hairy motherfucker)

[ThePlague]

I finally shaved my mustache :( I tried.

[Hotrod]

You had a week left though! For shame!

[Amit]

I finally shaved my mustache :( I tried.

Same. My excuse that I'm out of razor cartridges dried up. My mom went out and picked up some fresh proglide cartridges and basically verbally abused me into shaving. I got one last video of the length, but no pics to show the true length.

Meh, I reckon I can grow most of it back by December 1st :p

[Donut]

longest period of time i have to grow mine is from today until next monday before school. my school requires guys to be clean shaven, which does make it rather difficult to participate in nsn :smith:

i suppose ill see about posting a picture on sunday night

That's kind of dumb :/ Any reason why they make you do that?

[Kornman00]

Better question: what allows them to enforce such policies? Private school? I hope it's worth it :/

[MXC]

Ha, when I was a senior in high school, even with band, I was able to grow a full face beard, where you couldn't even see my jawline, and no one said a thing.


Why would your school want to prohibit facial hair?

[Spartan094]

Why would your school want to prohibit facial hair?
Because they mad.

[Hotrod]

I say let them rage. If they suspend you or whatever cause you have facial hair, then that's fucked up and you can enjoy your day(s) off.

[Limited]

Well I managed to last 14 days (5th ~ 19th). Had to shave due to having a job interview, got fairly long although still patchy :(.

Might do 1st December to 31st instead of November because to be fair, December is the month for wicked beards.

[Hotrod]

Am I the only one who hasn't shaved yet? I'm actually growing attached to my beard...I may just keep it...

[OmegaDragon]

I managed to do it until today. Started with a clean shave on the first and let it grow until about an hour ago. Though I would have liked to finish the month with my full beard, I thought it was improper to show up tomorrow on Thanksgiving to my parents without having a shave. For now I'll stick to my goatee :p

[paladin]

Why would your school want to prohibit facial hair?

Why does the military?

[Cortexian]

Why does the military?
They don't if you're awesome enough.

(see: special forces)

[=sw=warlord]

Am I the only one who hasn't shaved yet? I'm actually growing attached to my beard...I may just keep it...

My beard has come to a halt, seem's the beard has somewhat of a predetermined length of about 7Cm.
In fact, my beard is starting to die off, it's changing colour and becoming brittle.

[Kornman00]

Why does the military?
Standard US forces are the only ones (in modern world military forces) who I know of which are limited to a set range of mustaches and sideburns which can only go to the bottom of your year hole in length. Why? Because in order get a proper seal on those fucking gas masks, you have to be "clean shaven". Or at least, that's the excuse they're sticking to. When was the last time we've actually had to use gas masks to combat CBRN in a declared war? Probably 'Nam, but I'm no historian so don't quote me on that.

Also, not even excuses of religion can get you out of shaving. However, medical profiles can grant you a certain, albeit small, bread length.

However, while on leave (ie, vacation) you can typically get away with not shaving. My last parent organization tried to throw a grooming regulation into their unit regulations (units can ADD to regulations, but they can't TAKE from military regs) saying that even while on leave you have to be smooth as a babies butt. However, no one that I knew listened to that reg. I was technically also out of THEIR hair regulation, but no one in my immediate unit really paid that reg much attention since nothing was ever said (I still fell within military regs). Funny thing was, when I was working with the Brigade commander on something, he didn't mention anything, nor did he have the Brigade CSM pull me aside and chew me out (ie, yell at me and such) on my hair length.

But I digress. I don't think a school wants their chil'ren to have clean shaved faces in case of a CBRN attack.

[paladin]

I see. Well maybe the school just want their students to look 'nice'. If the school has policy on facial hair, am I correct in assuming it has a strict dress code, or even uniforms?

[Cortexian]

@Korn, that's the same reason Canada likes most of its Forces to be clean shaven. But the entire idea is outdated since the addition of positive-pressure masks. Speaking of the Canadian Forces and chemical weapons/gas masks, check out these:

Although I'm pretty sure those aren't positive-pressure masks it would still be pretty hard to get them on with a beard.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I ended up shaving because it grew out to about 5cm and just stopped.

I've had to shave a couple of times, though I'm aiming for full December :D

[Kornman00]

The only thing I've shaved so far is my mustache area, though my sideburns need trimming. Extra hair has been keeping my face warm this winter :^]

[Hotrod]

A razor hasn't touched my face in a month. At first, my beard was really annoying me, but at this point it's kind of grown onto me (no pun intended) so I may just keep it. I mean, what's more epic than a big red beard?

[Cortexian]

A big pink beard.

Ok fine. A quick reminder, I forgot to shave the goatee at the beginning. I just stopped shaving everything else.

Fuck, I forgot to take a picture before I shaved. I trimmed the chin area half way through, otherwise I made it all the way. I still have the mustache though.
