Movember: It’s All About the Mo

Movember: It’s All About the Mo

You might be able to grow a full beard – but that’s No Shave November (or just business as usual).
Movember is all about the Mo.

Movember kicked off in Australia in the early 2000s when a bunch of mates started talking about their ability to grow a moustache. About 30 lads took it on as a challenge: grow a Mo, wear it proudly, and see where it led.

The following year, they turned that fuzz into something bigger, raising close to $50,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Not bad for a bit of upper‑lip hair.

Since then, Movember has grown into a global movement, raising serious funds and awareness for men’s health – from prostate and testicular cancer to mental health.

So, how’s your Mo coming along this Movember?

Fair warning: the first few days (and sometimes weeks) can be rough. It might feel awkward. It might itch. Stick with it. A good Mo takes commitment.

A great Mo also takes proper grooming. Keep it clean. Keep it tidy. Give it the respect it deserves.

Before you start shaping, know the look you’re going for. Not all Mo’s are created equal, so get inspired and choose your style before the scissors come out.

To help you along the way, we’ve stocked up on our most popular Movember essentials.
Mo waxes, shave cream, shave oil, scissors, grooming bibs – everything you need to grow it properly. You’ll find the full range at BEARDED.

P.S. If you’re growing a Mo and haven’t registered yet, jump over to nz.movember.com and make it count. Raise funds. Raise awareness. Back men’s health.

Patchy, lopsided, bushy or thin – whatever Mo you rock this Movember, it’s all for a bloody good cause.
