All Good Lip Caterpillars Must Come to an End

Congratulations to the Swollen Glands! The Movember team Derek is on raised more than $1300. for the fight against prostate cancer.  Friday night was the team’s de-thatching get-together. I can’t say I’ve ever spent time in a bathroom with two men who are removing their moustaches…until now.

Derek's "before" shot with the moustacheMurray "before" with his moustache

They discussed technique at length.  Murray brought out an electric clipper that caused him pain but he persevered!   Derek chose the scissor method to trim his foliage.

Derek paused at the half-way mark, just for a laugh!

Murray went with the foam and four-blade-razor method. Derek did a dry-shave.   They both achieved the desired result.

Both men, moustache-free!

And for posterity, the Swollen Glands team, L-R Murray, Dave, Mike and Derek.  Mike kept his moustache a while longer.   Dave had shaved his off days ago because he was in Florida and didn’t want to end up with a bare white upper lip on a tanned face.

Well done, team!
…until next November.
