No Shave November?

Yeah, I know Sacrilege right? But is anyone doing No Shave November?

I'm very heavily considering it. Everybody that I work with is doing it (5 total), so it's like a solidarity thing. I will still absolutely be shaving my neck, because I can't stand the itch that comes from beard growth on my neck. So, not entirely No-Shave, but still probably growing out a beard.

Anyone else?
 
I'm in for Movember--got a running head start this weekend.

A pretty large contingent of guys at my office do the no shave thing, but I like shaving too much to quit for a month. The mustache is nice compromise. Plus, the 'stache gets some mad respect, from dudes at least.

 
I didn’t know it moved over to the workplace. I remember it from my sons while they were in college. I have a mustache, so if I keep my mustache will I be participating? I’ll be shaving the rest of my face. Otherwise, count me out. I can’t go a whole month & not shave! This isn’t Lent! LOL!
 
I do it every year. Partly in solidarity and partly just to see what kind of growth i can get. Almost always a patchy mess though...

Counts as participation to me. Extra points if you grow it into a handlebar or something fun...unless you already have a handlebar, then good for you sir, good for you.

This was my experience the one year I did no shave... weird bald spots on my cheeks. BUT the mustache comes in halfway decent!

That is worse than a sabbatical

Dave--thoughts on losing the goatee and wearing a mustache for the month? The shave off would make for an excellent video...

It could be Mow-vember where we go for full BBS every day!

I don’t know if I’d do a no-shave month...
 
This is me from a couple years ago. This is about 3 months of growth at the end, and the final Van Dyke trim was for Mustache March. I did not start it in November.

Of course, now I'm sporting a Mohawk..... not sure how that look is going to blend.

 
Good looking beard and 'stache KJ. Both/either could make for an interesting look with the mohawk, but there's only one way to find out for sure...
 
The first pics are almost lumberjack quality! Slap on a flannel and you’d have me fooled! ?
 
I just look silly when I try to grow my beard out, so I will not be participating. I am with you in spirit, however.
