At the time of this article, we are nearing the end of the coveted “No Shave November”. For those that may not know what “No Shave November is” – It is a time in which men, who participate in this yearly tradition, do not shave their mustache nor beard for the entire month of November, as the name implies. Go it? Good! Now let’s find out how the heck cancer and shaving, correlate!
Does shaving cause cancer?
To answer the question… Of course not! You see, “No Shave November”, at least in modern times, is a tradition that was started by some Australian gentlemen to raise awareness for Cancer.
The idea is that men would let their beard grow in all its natural glory to help raise awareness of cancer and to honor those that are battling, or have battled cancer and had to go through the very unfortunate hair loss. Women also participate by not shaving their legs.
However, “No Shave November” has a lot more history dating back to the Ancient Greeks as pointed out in much more detail in this article from Vidette Online on Who Started No Shave November.
Well… we hope that while the beards are growing that the awareness is growing even faster! May the beards grow wild and be well kept.
