Sh’Mo’ Down  

Six men showed off their sleek facial hair at the Sh’Mo’ Down, the first ever moustache competition marking the end of Movember last Sunday.

Event organiser Mas Mohammad Zulfadhly Haji Osman said Movember is celebrated around the world in November to raise awareness about men’s health issues especially prostate and testicular cancer which are rarely discussed in public.

Contestants were required to pledge growing their facial hair for the whole month of November to join the competition.

They were also encouraged to post up photos of their progress with #movemberbn on social media.

Fyad Ali was crowned champion based on the style and features of his moustache and received grooming products from Chaps & Rebels Barbershop.

“Cleanliness and extra supplement for the body is essential,” said Chaps & Rebels Barbershop owner Bung Jae, adding he fully supports the cause to shed more light on the lack of education on men’s health.

Customised T-shirts were also on sale at the event at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, The Mall. Forty per cent of the profit from the sale will go to the movember.com fund. Text courtesy of Norliha Din of The Brunei Times.
