A Close Shave – Movember 2016

1st November 2016

By Tim Trott

Movember is a global charity dedicated to raising awareness of men's health issues. Each year thousands of men grow a moustache in November in order to raise money for the charity. This year I am participating by growing a comedy moustache, but in order to do that, I had to sacrifice my beard...

I went along to my barber, Rebel Rebel, in Glasgow where I had a hot towel shave to remove any trace of my beard ahead of my month long moustache growing. Having had a beard for the past 4½ years it felt slightly odd being cleanly shaven again. Nonetheless, for one month I kept my face shaven apart from my moustache. I had a hard time deciding what style to grow, but after a short vote in the office, I went for the horseshoe moustache, which is also known as a biker moustache.

After a month, this is the final result.

I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who sponsored me during Movember, I managed to raise a total of £100 for the Movember charity.

Why I May Quit Blogging in 2018

Believe it or not but 2018 will be my 17th year writing on the internet. In that time I've seen blogs come and go, technology change, new platforms, old platforms, the dot-com boom and bust. I've weathered it all, but is it now time for my dot-com bubble to burst?
