Next week, you might see people on the street with freshly shaven faces. This is likely in support of the Movember movement, where people grow a moustache throughout the month of November to help raise awareness and donations for men's health initiatives, including mental health.
Besides growing a moustache, you can also participate by running 60 km throughout the month, hosting a fundraising event or any other creative method.
If you are planning on sporting a 'stache, then here's everything you need in your toolkit to keep everything neat.
