Ladies, if you want to see a smooth-faced male anytime soon, you might need to dial up some re-runs of “Mad Men.” November is the month when men apparently have permission (cultural permission anyway) to skip their morning shave. The men of the Montclair Fire Department’s union (Montclair FMBA#20) are all growing mustaches this month as part of Movember, a month-long charity drive to raise money to fight prostate cancer. Most of their wives aren’t crazy about it, says Michael Lizza. But Lizza’s 2 1/2 year old son, after staring thoughtfully at his dad one morning recently, took a dark crayon to his face later in the day in manly solidarity. Donate on behalf of your favorite hairy fireman here.

Meanwhile, over at Seton Hall…No Shave November is well underway, despite the best efforts of Schick to promote a new razor called the Schick Hydro. According to Schick, via the Setonian, the campus is the 8th hairiest in the United States.

Well, Baristaville, it’s time for a little vote.

  1. You left out the goattee. I love a goattee on a man. If not that, then stubble, never clean shaven–unless it’s Don Draper. That man can pull anything off.

  3. What don’t you get? They are growing Mustache’s to raise awareness for Men’s Cancer… Prostate and Testicular. By growing the mustache it provokes conversation about why you have a funny mustache…. You then tell people why you have the stash. Their slogan is “Changing The Face of Men’s Health.”

  4. Well Watermelon, know that you explained it I think my head is as big as a watermelon!

    OMFG! Was I suppose to get that from what was written in the article? Get real!

  6. This is the man version of the pink ribbon for breast cancer. Wonderful way to raise awareness for men’s health!

    Since I already have facial hair, I guess I’ll grow my prostate this month.
