A Brief Guide To a Splendid Moustache
It’s that time of year again where ‘Mo-Bros’ unite across the country to grow luscious, thick and magnificently crafted lip rugs – that’s right everyone’s favourite moustache growing charity has kicked off!
On the 1st of November, a solid 58 medical students and staff arrived with a clean-shaven face, ready to groom, trim and wax the stubble that would remain untouchable for the rest of the month.
