Combing Intel for the Best Facial Hair That Will Make You Never Want to Shave Again

November 30th. For most of us the end of November signals that Thanksgiving is behind us and the Christmas season is in full effect. For others, it concludes our voyage to facial hair fame to help raise awareness of men’s health issues and cancer research.

Started in 2003, Movember and No Shave November have grown into a 30-day global phenomenon---raising over $1.2 billion and signing up over 5.6 million advocates to put down their razors to take a stand to raise awareness for men’s health.

At Intel, we’re doing our small part to contribute in this admirable cause. We’re not going to split hairs on who is crowned the ultimate winner. Instead, we’re saluting all the beautiful beards, magnificent mustaches, and glorious goatees.
