Tashe on campus: Movember is here

I’m just jealous you can grow a better beard


November is well and truly under way, and with it Movember.

One big date in many gentlemen’s calendars is the chance to grow your upper lip hair in any way you want, with less chance of being called a twat.

But now many guys opt to go the whole hog and grow a winter jacket on their entire face.

I’m probably just jealous, though. At 20 I still can’t grow a damn thing on mine.

Well… I can, but nothing that could actually be classed as a decent effort, and even most girls can probably still sport a better beard-tashe combo than me.

Not so happy with my progress

 

I last shaved on October 31st and there’s still no sign of growth.

Others on campus were a lot more successful in their quest to keep their face warm, we tracked down the best beards on campus…

Kyle Jones, International Business Management

Smug because he’s got facial hair

 

Harry Andrews, Media Production

The natural look

 

Daniel Reeves, Ethical Hacking for Computer Security

Beards help you blend in

 

Christien Chaperlin, Journalism

The 5 O’clock shadow look

 

Looks like the natural look is definitely a winner with around seven in 10 of you beard growers opting to let your locks run wild rather than spend hours primping and preening them.

For me though, the closest I can hope to get for the time being is by doing a bit of improv.

Still looks more natural than my own
