Movember Moustache...Mupdate?

Photos stolen courtesy of Tatiana and my Aunty Pat.

I lost a bet, and now I have to grow a moustache. I started it slightly before November 1st (cheating, I know) and now we're just over halfway through the month I figured it was time for an update on the situation at hand.


Now, before we get to the before and afters, I just want to make it clear that I'm an embarrassment to hairier folk of my family. My father for instance grows a full beard during winter so well formed that he often gets mistaken for Santa Clause by small children. No kidding, it seriously happens.

(this is the only bearded photo I could find)

And my older brother? I'm quite certain that when he sneezes hairs instantly sprout from his chin.

(The least blurry, hairiest photo I could find. I'm really missing the mark this week with photos.)

I used to have a good photo of him with a Ron Jeremy quality porn-stache, but I've since lost it. Trust me though, it was skeezy.


Now here's me unshaved:


And here's me with about three week's worth of growth:


Can you see it?

I grow the gingerest ginger hair that ever gingered on man's face; It's practically translucent. Anyway, I will admit that it's growing in better than I thought. It doesn't look like the pubescent caterpillar I was expecting to grow. Unfortunately though, as this is the first time I've ever attempted to groom facial hair, I keep shaving it crooked.

Anyway, only one a half weeks left!

For any other participants, let's see your stache

WHOA GINGER! You're like a half-breed or something! It's looking not bad though... keep it up!

Your brother is in full beard growing mode right now and yes I do believe your assertation that facial hair sprouts when he sneeze it completely true.

I'm taking my beard off tomorrow. Did you want to borrow it?

Don't feel too bad about your growing ability. You would look like you have a full beard goin compared to what I'm able to do.
