Did you know that the average male spends 140 days of his life shaving? Did you KNOW that on average, men's facial hair grows about 5.5 inches per year?! Do you want to fight the system and let your manly whiskers grow wild and free?
No Shave November is a nationwide movement, popular on most college campuses, in which men abstain from shaving facial hair for the entire month. The purpose of No Shave November is to flaunt one's beard-growing-abilities, but at Rice it is also a charity event. Starting on November 1st with a clean shave, guys can begin to collect donations from their peers for every day they don't shave. All proceeds will benefit the Fifth Ward Enrichment Program, which empowers young men to become responsible leaders in their community. There are three levels of sponsorship:
- Peach Fuzz ($8): can shave after one week (*Note: may face ridicule from fellow beard growers)
- Lumberjack ($15): trimming for Thanksgiving only
- Hobo ($20): no shaving at all
Check out the lovely beards on campus this month, and watch the manly competition unfold.
