Put down the razor, hide away those clippers, and trouble the barber no more. It’s that time of year again, the particularly hair-raising one - and we don’t mean Halloween.

November is no more. The month now heralds Movember, and 11 years after it was first launched to raise money and awareness for men’s health in 2003, its effects can be spotted up and down the high street, in bars, schools, offices, and trains.

Suddenly men begin to look like they’ve stepped out of Downton Abbey - or worse, Duck Dynasty - and a toyboy becomes harder to spot.

To date over four million have signed up to take part in Movember and raised £345million for programmes around the world.

The charity’s current partners include Prostate Cancer UK and The Institute of Cancer Research.

Depending on your rate of moustache growth, it’s almost time to start growing that tash - and to help you on your way, prepare you for your new facial friend, and set your efforts within some important historic context, here are 11 hairy facts.

We hope they tickle your fancy.

On average a man with a moustache touches it 760 times a day. We suggest carrying hand sanitiser during the month of November.

The world’s longest tash is thought to belong to an Indian chap called Singh Chauhan of Rajastan who proudly sports a 14ft monster. He likes to keep it healthy with massages in mustard and coconut oil.
