Movember : Gillette - The Big Shave-In with Fandi Ahmad & Nazri Nasir

Movember is an annual charity initiative that encourages men to grow a moustache (Mo) during the month of November to create conversation and raise both awareness and funds in support of the often neglected men's health issues, such as prostate and testicular cancer. 


To commemorate the first day of Movember, Singapore's favourite footballers Fandi Ahmad and Nazri Nasir teamed up with Gillette to do a live Shave-in at Robinsons, The Heeren.


Supporters of Movember and local football fans get to witness this memorable sight of the Fooballing icons shaving away their moustache live at the launch event.


A life-sized artistic portrait of Fandi Ahmad, who is a Movember ambassador and friend of Gillette was also concurrently shaved for Movember.


How Movember works is that male supporters are to start off the month with a clean shave-in, before growing a Mo while raising funds over the course of thirty days. The funds raised in Singapore will goes towards the Singapore Cancer Society. To date, Movember has raised over $166 million in funds to support prostate cancer research and men's health programmes globally.



"Aside from Championing the cause, growing a moustache in style can be made easy for all male participants with Gillette as the official shavecare partner." shared Fandi Ahmad. 

So, go ahead and take your pick from this chart of moustaches.

Disclaimer: All photos aboved do not belongs to me. Was supposed to go down to this event but didn't had the time but still wanted to share this campaign, thus the post.
