No Shave November comes clean for the holidays

Thanksgiving was not kind to our field of No Shave November Tumblr competitors.

Ten contestants were disqualified this week. The combination of itchy faces and annoying family members was apparently just too much to bear.

But that’s alright. We still have some competitors jostling for the top prize. With five days left to go, here’s how our eight contestants currently stand. (To find out how we made this list, check this story out.)

1. Just a man and his dogs—In terms of quality and number of photos uploaded, Jason is definitely at the top of the list. Not to mention, there’s a whole lot of beard coming in. Since Sunday, he’s uploaded six different pictures. Some of them even feature his dog!
2. Pop Scenesters—Five photo updates in the last week and Pop Scenesters. Not to mention, plenty of commentary on why he really wants to shave his beard. Stay the course!
3. Don’t look back—Best dressed man and best groomed beard? Not too shabby.
4. My favorite words—Chris really wants to shave his face. Three photo updates this week. Stay strong!
5. Sync with me—Two photo updates from Phil and some visible stubble!
6. Like the thing Batman drives now—Thanksgiving day beard update, righteous!
7. What could ever stop us?—Things are getting hairy.
8. Get Bofucked—Brandon squeaks by this week with one photo update.
