Default I am growing a moustache…….

Yes I know I will look a silly with facial hair but I am growing a moustache this year for Movember.

I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men's health, specifically prostate cancer.

What many people don't appreciate is that one man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK, more than 35,000 men will be diagnosed this year and that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.

To donate to my Mo click this link Movember United Kingdom - Home and donate online using your credit card, debit card or PayPal account.

Movember is now in its third year here in the UK and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Charity. Check out further details at: Movember Foundation United Kingdom - Research & Programs.

If you are interested in following the progress of my Mo, click here Movember United Kingdom - Home. Also, Movember United Kingdom - Home has heaps of useful information.

Thank you

Nick

So long as we can check out the ladies bumps for lumps.

No gloves will be required.

Loving the VW matt, need to get it clayed though feels quite contaminated. Also will the nattys blue wax be suitable for the VW reflex Silver

No probs. Just shout when you want it done. The Natty's blue will work fine. To get a wetter look on silver though either go for one of the Dodo range (circa £30 a pot) or Dodo Supernatural (£60+ per plastic pot or £80+ per wooden pot available from you know who )

Or the other option on silver imo would be to go for werkstatt acrylic. More time consuming but cracking product. Think Polished Bliss have this on offer at the moment. Irrc it's about £45 for the kit.

Personally I'd use the Natty's up first and then look at new products when you're nearing the end of the tub. Natty's is a very under rated wax.

All this talk of wax makes me think I should start waxing my tache and beard

Looking good nick. Unfortunately mine has also gone ginger and the beard is even worse. It almost classifies as orange.

The 5 of us here at work have raised just under £800, most online Movember United Kingdom - Home but lots in cash too.

Thank you to those that donated

Nick,

I'm guessing the guy on the far left hasn't hit puberty yet?

Well done on your fund raising. The 4 of us here got just under £700.
