There’s no better time to grow out a beard than No-Shave November. This is a month of judgment-free beard growth. Regardless if you can only muster up peach-fuzz, or, conversely, a full Lebron James-type beard by the month, everyone respects the No-Shave November tradition.

No-Shave November was created in 2009 as a way to raise more awareness about men’s health issues. The awareness event was heavily inspired by “Movember” which was created by a group of friends in Australia in 2003.

Now, let’s clear some things up: No-Shave November and “Movember” aren’t the same things. That being said, however, they do pursue the same goal of raising money for charities, spreading awareness about men’s health, and embracing facial hair growth.

In the past decade and a half that the two charities have been around, they’ve been able to raise millions of dollars in support of charities that research prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer prevention.

No-Shave November is an honored tradition that every man should participate in. Yet, if you find yourself year after year dissatisfied with your beard, you’ll need a new catalyst for beard growth.
