[Closed] Movember

I wasn't going to this year, I'm not keen on the enforced celibacy that seems to go hand in hand with growing a Mo. but, it seems like I'm being talked round. 🙂 I suspect it's a yes.

Odly the missus likes a beard but not a mo 🙁

Did it for a couple of years, but I get a bald patch just under my lip so can't really do much with it.

Looking forward in hope that i can grow a full on trucker tache.

Yep..this is us last year

adding a soul patch to mine this year

I have been meaning to for the past 2 years but then the enforced celibacy rears its head. But now Mrs Ache wants another bundle of joy it might not be a bad idea!

You can enter a team - how about a STW team?

I'm signed up, happy to be part of a STW team if we're going to do this as a collective.

This was halfway through the month a couple of years ago, it doesn't improve with age..

Load of us at school (staff and 6th formers) have a team this year.

Not sure I'm actually brave enough to lose the goatee I've had for 23 years, so rather than clean-shaven >>> tache I might go close trim goatee >>> full beard instead.

slainte 😳 rob

I would if I could but sadly at the age of 26 I have the facial hair abilities of your average 16 year old. Still have to shave though else I look a tit. 🙁

Unfortunately, yes. The moustache pulled out of the hat this year:

Movember could be a pretty low point in the sex life of The Flying Ox 🙁

Ox - East London. Go there, you'll fit right in.

For the moustache, or the lack of nooky?

Had a trial run the other morning, went through various styles and looked bloody awful - the wife confirmed and agreed in no certain terms should I go out the house with a tash!

Taking this year off. Don't think the world could handle the ginger caterpillar every year

Yep. I'm going for a big 70's moustache.

Last year I was in the GP waiting room and a bloke walked in sporting a 70's moustache- he did a double-take and we both

Priceless. I'm already growing a beard ready to transform...

Priceless. I'm already growing a beard ready to transform...

That's cheating. You have to be completely clean shaven on day 1

I know but I'd only just have a moustache in week 3!

I've been experimenting with my beard over the last month or so, so i think i may as well hold onto the tash for another month. Might be a laugh and a good cause. Don't have the nooky issue as my Mrs. is another bloke

So, it's the 1st day.. everyone clean shaven and chosen their styles?

Must admit to be carrying a bit (4 days) extra growth otherwise it wouldnt be much of a show.

Will be doing it this year - along with my just 18 year old son. He claims that I have an advantage, something about being older!!

Smooth shaved this morning - suspect that we will be looking at a Goatee type!

Yup, clean shaven for the first time in a long long time this morning with plans for a splendid handlebar moustache by the end of the month.

Yup, signed up and clean shaven this morning. I suspect another epic horseshoe style mo coming on.

Jesus- I shaved on Sat and this morning I already have a number2(ish) moustache.

Yup, magnum tash coming up !

Dont forget it cant meet underneath your mouth otherwise it is a beard, not a tash !

I turned up for work today after hacking off a weeks worth of growth last night to find everyone else has cheated and already have little lip hair.

Can I grow a Merv Hughes in a month?

Seriously though, it's a good cause, all my paternal uncles have either got it or died of Prostate Cancer so to be fair I might need every little bit of help I can get in the future.

Or, if you want to do something that doesn't involve whiskers...

I am ready to look like a 12 year old boy attemtpting to grow a 'tache 😀

I've cheeted and left a few weeks growth, otherwise I look like a 50's Spiv! Going for the chopper look this year so needed the headstart.

its growing!

style as yet undecided. Ive not looked at the proper rules but in with a large group from the local who are allowing a weeks all over growth before styling.

got a few weeks growth here - looking forward to carving it into some extravagant Mo at some point tho

Tj is one of these dudes
Let you pick which one

p.s. we are planning a laggan trip in a couple of weeks...

lots of stwrs that aint got the bottle to start from scratch then

ive never had any facial hair grow in excess of about five days, it was really nice having a shave yesterday and weird as **** this morning

*scratches*

I'm going for this look 8)

I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes, John, I'm going to shoot you between the balls!

I so want to do this one 😉

[edit] he looks a little like someone on here 😉

I'm going for this look

Weird that's how I've always imagined you looked, have you got the chainmail wifebeater as well?

A year or so ago there was a 'look like Bennett' night in London. I couldn't make it but the pub was full of blokes with plastic knives and chain mail. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the pics 😆

I'm doing it, there's a fairly big group of us at work all going for the hairy caterpillar lip. Unfortunately I'm half a day behind as I wasn't at my house last night so haven't done my initial shave yet.

Just registered now. Let the cultivating commence 😀

Some encouragement for the guys

week one done, how's your tache looking?

[img] [/img]

mine's crap. beard grows fine, but makes me look like Ken Bates. For that reason and that reason alone, I'm afraid I'll have to pass

I have cheated a bit by growing a full set to trim to a mo. time for the clippers I think

Talked the developers at work into all taking part. I'm really impressed they are doing it! So impressed I agreed to have my hair dyed ginger as I can't take part in the 'tache thing...

Rachel

TJ, thats a cheap cheat. Tache or nothing fella, and no Edinburgh defence!

Ok big g- you are the second today to say that so its been trimmed. I may have a celibate month now - or even be dumped

You'll not be celibate all month,,,

[url=

this out![/url]

Blimey you guys are doing well for 1 week.

I'll have to dye mine 🙁

I also cheated with more than a week to get that far. Even I can only take a certain amount of ridicule

So, I'm the only one with a real 7 days worth of growth, and all that as only a tache?

I deserve some kind of prize

I'm sitting it out, because I know what'd happen... I'd let it grow for a month, then on day 30 I'd finally have a pathetic little line of fluff and someone would say "Hey, why did you decide to start growing a mo immediately after movember, that's just stupid"

Which is weird, because I can grow bloomin excellent mr bumble sideburns.

but you're getting close.....

Trickydisco - thats cheating it joins on the chin...

Here's my effort so far - nearly at my target £50 sponsorship too.

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Mine so far

Seventies is where it's at, though perhaps not the "Baader-Meinhof fugitive" look...

Mmm, I know its for a good cause and all that but for some reason I'm finding some of the facial expressions on this thread rather disturbing 😀

Trickydisco - thats cheating it joins on the chin...

Nope.. no cheating. It doesn't join.. There's a bit of a shadow which makes it look like it does 🙂

I have got a soul patch which is allowed

stuartie c what's with "trout in the milk"?

I heard for the first about fanuary this morning....

stuartie c what's with "trout in the milk"?

It was a phrase dropped into conversation during a recent bothy weekend. Speculation was that is was equivalent to "elephant in the room" but it seems it is a phrase coined by Thoreau to illustrate the concept of circumstantial evidence.

The photo is there for the benefit of the bothy attendees...

There are vintage moustaches and bicycles in there if that persuades you to have a look, that and me looking like a goon in the local paper.

Hora looks a *bit* scarey

Big g looks like my boss!!

I feel like a Greek bar worker 😐

emsz I could always pour you a drink 😉

Jeez Hunki your first pic frightened me...your second, well, I feel aroused.

Here's how shite I look. And I dyed my 'tache!

[img] [/img]

cynical- no gayness but you are a better looking bloke. Its hard to carry a tash off if the basics aren't nice to look at!
