No Shave November

This year marks the fourth year that I have graced the bearded community with my participation in No Shave November. Pretty much the intro the the cold season, November has been designated as the month in which men (or those that consider themselves men) shun razors and sport the time-honored beard. Although the status quo thumbs their nose at the idea of uncontrolled facial growth, I fully support the idea. This neglect of the clean shaven look pays homage to the grandest sign of virility: the beard.

Since this blog is primarily a means of honoring the music and fashion that have left an indelible mark on my life, I will give a shout out to a few greats in music that have deemed every month as one that should be devoid of shaving. Among these giants are: Jerry Garcia, the Beatles circa the late 60s, Jim Morrison, Devendra Banhart, the Megafaun trio and of course ZZ Top.
