Some people say no-shave November is a stupid tradition. Well, I’ll tell you this folks. It is far from that. Why shouldn’t people take one month out of the year to dedicate to not shaving their faces? Not only do people do this for fun, but there is actually a reason behind no-shave November. It’s fun to not shave for a while, but I don’t have to worry about not having to shave because I can’t grow facial hair; I imagine it would be pretty carefree. The actual reason behind no-shave November is to raise awareness about prostate cancer in men. Since October is breast cancer awareness month, it makes complete sense.
No-shave November isn’t only for men. Ladies can let their facial hair grow with pride; I would even say it’s encouraged. If the fellas can wear pink at football games to work or to school, ladies can help us out by growing a lovely moustache. It’s more or less a ‘’you scratch our back, we scratch yours.’’ I’m not saying it’s your duty as a person but as an American.
Now, it’s not all just fun and games when it comes to not shaving your face. The reality is when you don’t shave your face, you’re opening people’s eyes to the real reason behind it which is to help raise awareness about prostate cancer. Although you may not be affected by it, put yourself in other people’s shoes. On a more serious note, if you don’t know about prostate cancer, take the time to look into it a bit. Maybe you could help some people out by spreading the word about it.
If you are taking part in no-shave November, I dare you to grow a moustache better than the great baseball player Rollie Fingers. You can try all you want, but there is no way anybody on this wonderful earth can grow a better moustache than Sir Rollie Fingers.
