It’s November and you
know what that means it’s men health awareness month.
No Shave November is a trend where
men put down their razors and don't shave
for the entire month of November.

that. The American Cancer Society wants to use this trend to raise awareness
about prostate cancer.
- Peter the Great taxed beards to encourage clean
hair-free faces. That’s over-taxation!
- Pogonotomy is the fancy word for shaving. Pogonotrophy
is the word for growing a beard. Wonder what the word for stubble is?
- The Ancient Egyptians wore fake metallic beards as a
way of honoring special occasions. The women wore them too. Could this be
the beginning of No Shave November?
- Abraham Lincoln grew a beard at the advice of an 11

- The mustache is not without its clever nicknames:
Whiskers, Crumb Catcher, Face-Lace, Lip Shadow. What do you call your
‘stache?
6. Average human hair grows at a rate of .014

Jillian! This is excellent! THIS is what I knew you were capable of. You had interesting, witty commentary and a great graphic. The only thing that would have made it better is if you could have tied it to your business. Maybe by writing, "We've got a lot of men here in the studio and we've noticed some interesting mustache trends. To honor No Shave November . . . "
