Movember kick-off (Shave-Off!) recap
What a fun night!
The Reno Collective let us use some of their space, and by 7pm we were ready to roll with the famous Moustache Ride from Eclipse Pizza, and some beer and wine donated by Amendment 21.
After a quick ceremonial speech, a couple of chairs were set up so that the barbers from Old West Barber Shop could get to work. They had clippers to get unruly facial hair down to a short length, and then they even offered full shaves to get everyone clean-shaven and fully compliant with the Movember competition rules. By the way, they did this for free and one of the barbers even shaved his goatee to join in the Mo-action. You should check them out if you're looking for a good shave, they excellent old-fashioned shaves at their shop that will leave you feeling like a true gentleman (and if you tell them that you're doing Movember, you'll get a little something special!).
We had over 20 gentlemen who needed shaving, and we saved the best for last: David Calvert had a beard... and he shaved it all off! It took a lot of time, but it was well worth it. There's a video of that in the works, we'll certainly share for you to see how it's done.
