Gallery: Movember kicks off

 

Gentleman, start your engines. The month we have all been waiting for has arrived. Let the upsurge in the moustache population begin!
This month, dubbed ‘Movember’, men from a number of countries will seek sponsorship for their efforts in growing a moustache in order to raise money for various charities that support men's health. Check out photos from last year’s efforts.

One may think that Movember is the time to grow a moustache and a moustache only. One could not be further from the truth. From a French tickler, to handlebars, to the walrus, to the toothbrush, to the old Fu Manchu, it truly is a time to get creative with your facial hair, however you see fit. Check out the vintage "horseshoe" mustache pictured here.
