Every week it gets more painful to fill up at the pump. With most commodities at all-time highs, there might be some comfort in having the ability to buy oil for $30 or less. The only catch is that it's not quite a "barrel". I started using a pre-shave oil about five years ago and I must say that it has revolutionized my shaving experience. Every man has those days when no matter how careful their preparations, they still have a painful shave.

Gentlemen -- our faithful readers, customers, and fans -- we have let you down. It is now November 26th, and we are just getting around to telling you about MOVEMBER! The truth is, we were warned a couple weeks back, but we honestly thought it was just a grooming company's ploy to sell more products. Turns out, it's a real movement aimed at increasing awareness of prostate cancer.

What is Movember? Well, "Mo" is Australian slang for moustache, and so Movember begins on November 1st, when a "Mo Bro" registers his clean shaven face. He then spends the month growing (and grooming) his Mo. The month culminates in a Movember party, currently scheduled for 7 cities. If all goes well, we'll be hosting one next year in San Francisco!

Why the need? According to their site (and who are we to argue), prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the U.S. with one in six American men developing the disease and 27,000 men dying of the disease every year.

Spend a couple minutes on the official Movember website, and we suspect we'll see you growin' a Mo next year with us!
