Shaved ready for tomorrow. Anyone who knows me knows I hate shaving. This will be a challenge.

Close-up of a bald person looking directly at the camera with stylized white text over their upper lip reading “MOCOMINGSOON,” mimicking a mustache. Bold white text at the bottom says “1 DAYS TO MO” above “MOVEMBER.COM,” with a mustache icon between the lines. A rainbow-striped heart symbolizing LGBTQ+ inclusion appears in the top left, and a sticker-like graphic in the top right reads “IT’S TIME TO UNITE.” The image promotes the Movember campaign for men’s health and inclusivity.
