Movember

[asp integra]

searched and saw some threads from past years but wanted to see who was doing it this year. Also any tips on making the stache as good as possible? anyone use just for men to really make it stand out?

[My_name_is_Rob]

Isn't that considered cheating?

[Maybelater]

I have to be clean shaven for work this time around. No pedo stash for me. :cry:

[EK 2.0]

Hmmm....I think I'm in again this year...

Time to bust out the hilt...errr....I mean charlie chaplin stache!!...

I have never used it for movember, but I have used it on my face and chest once upon a time to try and thicken things up, turns out the warning labels saying it is for scalps only is true

Why would I want to look like an 70's porn star?:dunno:

Well, to raise awareness about prostate cancer... why wouldn't ya? :dunno:

it doesn't cost ya anything. Except maybe a cold lip. :poosie:

[ExtraSlow]

I run a stache and goatee all year, and I HATE shaving my upper lip, but I'll be doing Movember this year.

We turn it into a contest around the office, everyone looks like a pron star for a month, the gals make fun of us. It's a pretty enjoyable time.

[swak]

Get a beyond: side-team kinda deal going on?

Anyone down?

[Dave P]

Dye it jet black. Just for men. Only way to go.

[chibwack]

My old roomie did the just for men thing. Bad idea... it just died his skin a gross brown color.

[beyond_ban]

November is my favorite month for this very reason. What a blessing it is to be born in the month of the stache.

[Unknown303]

I can't wait to get a nice clean shave on Halloween and then grow a gross porn stach.

[bituerbo]

Nope. Once the snow starts falling, the razor/trimmer/scissors go away.

[hibernate]

[flipstah]

Maaaaann, all I get is a really gnarly-looking five o' clock shadow/pedo stache.

[03ozwhip]

my wife always says she will leave me if i do a stache....im doing it this november.

[GoChris]

I'm also doing this, had a pretty good horseshoe one last year. Not sure what I'll do this year.

[asp integra]

i wish i had the upper lip of Jay onrait, best stache i saw last year

I wouldn't say so. It's all for a good cause, and no one really "wins" next to the charities. If it'll get you an epic stache, I say Give'er. I wish I could grow an epic stache:(

[EK 2.0]

This might help some of you out...

[AA2001]

Do it every year! We gotta toss up pics of the beyond staches!

[cycosis]

Kinda cheating. I dont do a shaved face. Had a beard for 6 years now but I started not trimming the stache in proportion to the beard a few weeks ago. Should have some good curls by the end of november.

[Hallowed_point]

Hipsters have tainted all facial hair for me unfortunately; and for that reason I'm out.

It's a great cause though.

[austic]

I am in this year. Its a great cause and its fun to compete against the other companies in the Oil Rig Rumble.

Best 'stache ever!

Do you guys normally do the whole beard or just the upper lip growth?

Just the moustache. And I shave that shit off as soon as December starts (or my boss threatens to fire me) so I don't get mistaken for some damn hipster.

Looks like my last shave for a month will be tomorrow

... For the upper lip, that is. UGH.

EDIT: Follow me here to see the gnarliness.

[btimbit]

Well, I tried. Boss called me out at the end of the day today for looking like a "dirtbag" and said I have to shave.

Female bosses suck.

[CompletelyNumb]

Tell her to wax hers too. Biotch. :whocares:

[ZEDGE]

I can go like 3 days without shaving and it drives me nutz haha. My buddy at work is growing his stash so I will donate some money to for his efforts.

Not gonna shave for tomorrow and see if I can get away with it...

Turn it into a game; how long it takes me to get a written warning for my facial hair.

Haha squeeze in a few extra days when the pressure is on and shave it down to a pencil stache

[timdog]

can you actually get a written warning for facial hair? especially when its for charity ... just brutal.

Shave it a little bit on each side until you have a nice Hitler/Chaplin stache!

Why not? In spite of my personal opinion on the whole "movember" thing, if the company had a policy regarding personal appearance/professional image and it's outlined (not saying that is the case here) then they would be well within their rights to do such a thing.

ASSUMING that such a thing was the case here (for arguments sake) then if it's actually about the charity, and not just jumping on the mustache bandwagon to be cool and fit in with your buddies, then you can donate all the money you wish without contravening company policy. They would really be doing nothing at all to impede you from being charitable.

Well to be fair I'm not doing it for charity, I'm just a smartass. I always forget about the whole charity thing, I've been doing 'no shave november' since before the whole moustache for charity thing really caught on a few years ago, or at least that's when I first heard of it.

I'm management too and really I enforce the 'grooming standards' more than anyone else.
If I could grow it out neat it'd be a different story, but I just look like a scruffy dirtbag

Hit the nail on the head.

[jampack]

I am doing this this year...As well as my cat on my avatar.. :D

[shakalaka]

I am doing it as well. Trying to get what Robert Downey has in Iron Man going.

[Tomaz]

What I want to look like during Movember:

What I actually look like:

And for this: I will be donating, and not growing. lol

[A790]

Donations welcome! I look like Freddy Mercury right now... ughh.

[a social dsease]

I'm doing Movember also. Currently look like a 12 year old mexican :(

[colinxx235]

I'm also doing movember. All the guys at work are on the Hudsons team supporting the cause.

Our EPCM going to have some pretty grungy/manly looking juniors come nov 30th :rofl:

[flipstah]

I'm keeping the neck line clean while (trying) growing chops and a goatee to match the gnarly 'stache.

[Vagabond142]

I'm doing movember, doing the truckerstache o_O!

Your not alone. :rofl:

Its not even the halfway point, and I'm pretty sure I'm already not allowed near schools. Its pretty greasy.

[Kona9]

I will be doing this as well. I have never really been able to grow facial hair at all. Being 36, I am attempting my second moustache, and so far not great. Mostly blonde and not at all full. Leaving the rest of my face unshaven has yielded me about 5 follicles of side burn per side, and about 72 straight blonde hairs on my chin about 3/16" standing proud as fuck. It was more of a personal experience to see what I could grow, but now that a co-worker said my chin reminded him of his balls when he was 13, it will be clear cut before bed this evening.

Good luck to the rest of you.

[beyond_ban]

I was thinking about dying it to get full color but its already fairly bold when I trim the rest of my face.

[GoChris]

Almost 2 weeks in...not bad for me. It's not a Mo yet but I'm not being super serious. I'm not on a team or had the time to solicit for donations yet.

[sputnik]

Why were some of you guys growing beards?

[colinxx235]

Yah not sure why they did.

I'm still sporting my Mo. At least until the company x-mas party this Friday. along will all the other EITs and younger guys who participated in the MO =)
