Starting immediately after the month of breast cancer awareness and candy for kids in costumes, this month isn’t for the women or children, but for the men. It is a chance to show off the culmination of 30 days without trimming, cutting, or shaving your face. A month that makes women hate their men for growing scraggly bushes on their faces, and a month to warm up for the winter. The hair keeps our faces warm and emulates true manliness. Thanksgiving should have a table surrounded with men sporting thick beards and carrying heavy bellies. Most importantly we grow our hair to raise cancer awareness.
The snowflakes start falling as the beards grow and just like the snow the beards are all individual and unique in shape and size. It is a chore to keep well kept; the snow covers the streets, yards, and homes of Jacksonville. It is also chore to keep facial hair well kept; our beards cover our faces in warmth, colour, and roughness. Each article of facial hair highlights the kind of person who wears it, whether it’s a long scruffy beard or a shallow simple goatee. No-Shave November is an essential part of what makes America great, because we can grow some awesome beards. We also help other countries, have lots of trade, and promote peace when allowed. The beards overshadow all that though, pun intended. Imagine all the money you use on shaving, now you can donate it to a good cause like the cure for cancer.
Without No-Shave November, we have nothing to highlight the men of America’s strength and power. Nothing to show why we get the job done, freezing cold or not. The main reason this month is so important in my opinion, is mainly for bragging rights. I can grow way more facial hair than almost all my friends, so basically I’m a man and they’re still kids. It’s for this reason November is one of the best months of the year: the beards and the food. What a great way to bring awareness to men’s health.
