Day twenty

And day two after operation. Just had a shower. Ouch.

Day nineteen
Via Flickr:
The day after I had an operation! Looking surprisingly chipper despite having not had much sleep.

Day eighteen
Via Flickr:
A bit out of focus. I had to take this one in a bit of a hurry.
Day seventeen
Via Flickr:
There doesn't seem much difference now in the day to day shots. I think it'll need another week to make a difference to the way it looks.

Day thirteen
Via Flickr:
This is definitely looking like a moustache now

Day twelve
Via Flickr:
Starting to look like a tache to me.
Movember days 9 to 11
I've had, and have enjoyed having, facial hair for years so it's a bit odd when my favourite picture of me in November was the one on day one when I was completely clean-shaven. I will think long and hard at the end of the month as to whether I regrow the beard.
Anyway, here's days nine, ten and eleven.

Day five - finally visible
Via Flickr:
Hah! I have the distance, the skin-tones and ... a semi-visible moustache.

Day three - there's something
Via Flickr:
You'll need to look very closely but there is something there! And I don't mean the spot on my lower lip. My skin really does not like me shaving.
Such a gloomy morning. I had to use the flash on the camera. Goodness knows what the neighbours thought.

Day 2 of 30 - you will be sick of these by the end of the month
Via Flickr:
Well, not much different to yesterday. I don't look any happier and you can still see my warddrobe.
There is the tiniest glimmering ghost of a moustache if you know what you're looking for.

Day one
This is me on the first morning of Movember. According to the rules, I shaved the moustache area the night before. I have seven hours of moustache in this picture!

Movember diary - day zero
We're supposed to start from scratch and start tomorrow clean-shaven. I trimmed away my beard yesterday but today was the first I'd shaved around my mouth for a long time.
It feels weird. It looks weirder. My face lacks definition and my mouth is too small.
Yesterday I marvelled at how much younger I looked without the damning white facial hair. I am only 47 but my upper lip hair is mainly white. The rest of my beard and head hair is dark. Shaving it all off made me think, yesterday, that I had lost 10 years, perhaps more.
Today I think I look like I am made out of plastic, like Bruce Willis in Surrogates or Barry Manilow in anything.
So, for the next month I will let my moustache grow and regrow my head hair (I've been shaving that for the last couple of months) and try not to look like an ageing porn star.
The end of the month will tell whether I shave the tache again or regrow the beard. Vanity or practicality?
Movember is a cause that espouses research into illnesses that affect men. Things like prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Because they're illnesses that affect males, they don't get the coverage that other illnesses get. Go to the Movember website and read about it.
While you're there, if you find my page (and there is only one Robert Williams in the UK doing this - how sad is that?) and you can spare it, bung me a couple of quid.
Better yet. Grow a moustache and raise money yourself. Now, I know the ladies will find this a bit of a challenge but you should at least try!
