10 Bearded Bros to Inspire You This #NoShaveNovember

November brings a crisp breeze, crunchy leaves, Thanksgiving- oh, and insane beards. 

#NoShaveNovember started in 2004 with the name Movember (Mustache + November) as a way to raise awareness for men’s health issues. According to the website, the purpose is to grow out one’s hair to donate money saved by lack of grooming to a men’s health charity. Men are three times more likely to avoid going to the doctor for health problems, and thus have a greater risk of dying from treatable illness. 

These accounts keep their beards year-round, but are so fucking sick  that they’ll leave almost everyone wondering “Could I wear a beard all year?”

There isn’t much information on Mattias and he keeps his captions short, so if you’re just here for the beard he’s the man to go to. Quiet and bearded, more people should take a page out of his book.

Beard or not, remember to celebrate this #NoShaveNovember by visiting your doctor and getting your prostate checked. Many forms of cancer do have treatment options and the earlier these diseases are detected, the higher chance there is of overcoming.
