The number of men who don’t shave at all is actually up across all age groups, now standing at 20%. Throughout November, that number was likely much, much higher.
No Shave November is a month-long event that showcases rugged beards in order to raise awareness and spark conversation about cancer. Additionally, there are all kinds of charitable programs and donations throughout the month.

Thanks for sharing a very interesting blog.
Howdy! This is somewhat off theme yet I require some assistance from a set up blog. Is it extremely hard to set up your own blog? I’m not extremely specialized but rather I can make sense of things truly quick. I’m pondering making my own however I don’t know where to begin. Do you have any tips or recommendations? Value it
I really like that this is fun an easy to do. Not something us ladies can participate in…LOL
