What defines a man? Is it his car? Is it the size of his wallet? Or is it something much more personal? A man’s facial hair is something that he can take pride in. It is one thing that all men, except for the few unfortunate ones, have in common. November is just the month that all men are free to celebrate their wonderful and beautiful heritage.

Beards and mustaches have been around for forever. Many great men in history have been blessed with great facial hair. One of our famous presidents, Abraham Lincoln had a fantastic beard. And let’s not forget one of the best side-burns ever, Wolverine!

Also, for any of you who have seen The Hunger Games, the head gamemaker, Seneca Crane?, had an excellent mustache/beard combo going on for him.

Now as far as No Shave November goes, ladies, is it really that bad? It is just one month for crying out loud. After all the crap that guys have to deal with on a year round basis, do we not deserve a month for ourselves?

No don’t get me wrong ladies, you need to shave! I do not care if it is colder and people can’t see your legs, or whatever, just do us guys a favor and keep your arms, your legs, and your lips clean.

For any of you Duck Dynasty fans, they know how to live. When your beard is longer than the hair on top of your head, you obviously have done something right in your life.

So for any of you guys who missed out on No shave November, never fear! For Don’t Shave December is already upon us! Or some call it “Decembeard.” And there is always Manuary as well as Forget to Shave February and even Mustache March.

As it is written: “Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.” Leviticus 19:27
