It´s Shadoween, Men!

Tonight's the night to bring out your razors or shavers to remove all your facial hair and make your face as smooth as a baby's ass in preparation for taking part in Movember.

The Movember movement has the ambition to contribute to improving the lives of men around the world.

To achieve this, men grow mustaches during Movember (the month formerly known as November) to spark conversation and raise funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems. 

We see success as moving the dial on progress towards:

• Reduced mortality from prostate, testicular cancer and men’s suicide 
• Men living with prostate or testicular cancer being physically and mentally well
• Men and boys understanding how to be mentally healthy and taking action when they experience mental health problems
• Men and boys with mental health problems not being discriminated against

Shadoween

Today is the last day before the monthlong celebration of Movember, we call it "shadoween"

On this day we prepare ourselves for the coming month by shaving the complete mustache region, including the entire upper lip and the handlebar zones. All must be completely shaved.

During the next month those of us taking part will let the mustaches grow and only those. For the entire duration of Movember (the months that by lesser men and by women is called November), no hair is allowed to grow in the goatee zone - being any facial area below the bottom lip. Nor is there to be any joining of the mustache to sideburns.
