 We have shave for the brave here, it sends Veterans on a day trip to the memorials in Washington DC. My car club donated a thousand, but nobody shaved.

There is a St Baldrick's that raises money for medical purposes & those being sponsored shave their heads.  Frank good on you, just pick up a balacava for this winter, your bare face will thank you.  Friend in college would drive a pharmaceutical delivery truck on weekends and hardy guy and would drive with window down. Damaged a nerve in his face that controlled muscle movement for smiling and other expressions. Took over 6 months to heal.

Faux,  you don't grow a manly beard like Franks in a month, that takes years of cultivating...  OK, just a year or maybe two at the outside.

Yeah I know, but what was the November cause?

I have a beard about half the time. It grows until it starts  poking my nose when I sleep and then I consider removing it or just a trim. In summer it usually just goes away.

Over here we have Movember, when for the month of November everyone is encouraged to grow a moustache for a good cause. It's always a great relief when my missus comes out of the bathroom on the first day of December looking normal again! ;D

One year 8 months on that beard..
 Maybe you didnt click on the site, but they take donations for a vote for on. ...or off.. The higher amount wins.. Determines the outcome..
Soooooo nobody knows if they will get shaved...or stay..
 Having only been shaved twice in 30 years, i am hoping we get to keep them..

Mainly bumping here.  Have had my beard for past 45+ years (about same length as Bill's BTW.  Grew it right after discharge from Navy).  Was once as long as Frank's tho. Shaved it a couple of times in-between..always grew back..takes about 2 to 3 months.

Nowadays..I'd be more concerned about the sagging jowls..etc..rather than being bald-faced tho LOL!

All those guys on Facebook feed Frank sent..looked pretty good w/o..I thought.  Also a lot younger than Frank..Bill or me LOL!

Good luck Frank!
