How to Celebrate No-Shave November

1

Grow a beard

Growing a beard is the traditional way of celebrating No-Shave November. Get yourself some quality beard oil and conditioner, and let the growing begin!

2

Donate to charity

Since you're not spending money on razors and shaving cream, why not donate that money to a charity of your choice? You can donate to cancer research, homeless shelters, or any other cause that's close to your heart.

3

Create a care package

Create a care package filled with items that you would normally use for shaving, such as razors, shaving cream, aftershave lotion, etc., and give it to those in need. It's a great way to show you care and share some love.

4

Host a contest

Host a contest for the best or most creative beard or mustache in your circle of friends. Have everyone post photos of their facial hair on social media and vote for the winner.

5

Spend time outdoors

No Shave November is the perfect time to get out in nature and enjoy the outdoors. Whether it's camping, hiking, fishing, or even just taking a walk around the block, get out there and enjoy the fresh air!
