Charity Cut Throat!
December 11th, 2009 | 
Author: I was asked at the start of November if I could help out with raising some money for charity for the month of Movember. You can see the results in this little video clip! Because the blades we use for the Cut Throat Shaves are so so sharp I was able to perform the first shave on Colin without trimming or cutting his beard down at all.
Colin had been growing his beard during the month of “Movember”. Movember is a movement where men grow a moustache for charity. In 2008′s Movember more than 173,000 people took part raising more than 14 million.
Colin said “I decided to grow a beard and have it cut-throat razored off for charity after a discussion with friends on my birthday at the end of October, it is a fun, and silly, way of raising some money for charities. The money I raise will be split between a number of organisations including the Albert Kennedy Trust and Self Help Africa which are two charities close to my heart.”
The Albert Kennedy Trust work to ensure that all lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans young people are able to live in accepting, supportive and caring homes, by providing a range of services to meet the individual needs of those who would otherwise be homeless or living in a hostile environment. It was set up after the sad death of Albert Kennedy twenty years ago. More details are available on their website.
Self Help Africa works to helping rural communities become self-reliant; encouraging participation of the poor at every stage of the development process. More details are available on their website.
At the time of writing Colin has raised over £280 for these very worthwhile causes.
Welcome to the Blog!
This is a new blog that I hope will be updated regularly with news, features, advice for both consumers and those in the industy all about hair removal. It will be concentrating on waxing and shaving … since those are the areas that I specialise in.
As the blog grows I also hope to invite some guest authors to make contributions – if you would like to make a post please get in touch!
