You could try growing your nose hair extra long. That's what I'm doing. Not that I seem to have any choice in the matter ...

I know a bunch of friends at uni who are doing this. Not something I can really do - my girlfriend tells me off if I get too stubbly! Also, having been born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, I'm unable to grow anything on my philtrum (the dent under the nose), and as a result, it ends up looking as if I have hair pouring out of my nostrils. So the result is what I think is called an "inverse Hitler" (what an unfortunate name...). Not the most flattering look!

The whole point (ok, a large part of the point) is to go out of your way to grow a mo (and just a mo, and from scratch) even if it causes issues with your stunning good looks and/or your better halves (my gf -hates- mine, for eg., and I personally hate having to shave every day)
Anyhoo.. :)

Stunning good looks, I wish! As I understand it, the aim is to raise awareness for men's health by growing a moustache? I was trying to say I couldn't do this, as I can't properly grow a moustache, and beards don't count. But I fully support those who do! 'Tis something I was not aware of until a few years ago until I came to uni, but here there are a number of people doing it. And raise awareness of things it does!

For those who can't participate, support, be it moral or financial is much appreciated. As MdF states - raising awareness is the point.

I suggested to my wife (having grown accustomed to the rug beneath my nose) that I might keep said 'tache - she has indicated that if it's still on my face on Dec. 1st - she will wait until I fall asleep and then then wax it off in a single agonising moment.

(So guess what I'm doing first thing Dec. 1st!!)

And no, it's not (briefly) screaming in agony...

Well, it’s all over, I shave tomorrow!

On Facebook my friend Katherine demanded beads and plaits and ribbons, which I thought was asking a lot...

Well, I managed ribbons – not bad for a month.

A guy must be really manly to allow himself to be seen in those... You have my respect!
