I needed to take my medicine at the end of OCtober following straight on as it did from SEptember.

I'm not sure how many more of these themed months I can do, might have to say NOvember :)

OK so i pulled out all my OCs and worked them over for OC month under your rules. Couple of infractions here and there like my engels and mamba.. tsk tsk :whistle:

Since you were over the rules per month especially 'NO'vember and I was liking the idea so much as it made me try new things. I was thinking another month themed idea was grand. Now I guess it isn't everyone's cup of tea and not enforceable as it is themed by a bunch of old vintage nut collectors. :ROFLMAO:
But having a theme influences us into broadening our experiences either as an observer on the SOTDs or participant with the means.

Though Movember is an important month for us men & female supporters and an Australian creation do we instill this theme for NOvember?
Doesn't have to be compulsory or binding in any effect just at present a background theme to note supporters who can.

Grow a mustache, side burns, goatee, reverse beard or just a beard. Style it, wax it, shape it and scrape it..
Pull out that dusty (honed) straight razor, shavette, chinese $3 job, bent head OC and tache razor and just use it to clean the top cheek or beard on your neck. Do an act that is different to your routine and acknowledges NOvember so to spread the education of why it is acknowledged.

Thoughts?

Sold 0 houses so far, total failure.
Honestly the way they carry themselves is a lot better than many agents I’ve spoken with.
It’s amazing how interested some agents will behave then simply stop when they realise you don’t fit their timeline.

Well OCtober is done - but an early start suggested same same was easier - the blade was a little long in the tooth though.

Looking forward to a better, slower, shave Saturday - will break out my new soap and splash!
