You wake up on the floor of a rustic log cabin in New Hampshire's White Mountains. You're softly humming a Norwegian lullaby as you sharpen your father's old hatchet. The sun won't rise for another 30 minutes, but you've already finished the week's chores. You straighten the Brian Wilson portrait hanging above your fireplace. Yeah, that's better. You light a wooden pipe and think back to simpler times. Ah. No Shave November.
No Shave November is an annual, month-long marathon of questionable hygiene and brutish masculinity. Participants wake up on December 1st, gaze into the mirror, and ask themselves, "Am I a man or is there a god behind that beard?" We want to help you answer that question. Now that the marathon is over, it's time to reward yourself. Don't go reaching into your drawer of razors or trying to borrow your shepherd friend's sheep shearers. We've got a list of the best Morningside barber shops for your face's rebirth. Check them out after the jump.
