I did think of going to a Turkish barbers to get it shaved off, but would probably end up scared stiff by a cut-throat razor. And they are shut on Sundays. So at half ten this morning I set off to the bathroom to do it myself. I tried trimming it with some scissors that were part of a special beard trimming set, but they were bloody useless. Like trying to trim a lawn with a pair of scissors.
The starting/ finishing point
It was more scraping than shaving at first and I thought I'd take it through a few stages to see how they would have looked.

It took roughly a minute less to shave with the moustache, but it took 30 minutes to shave off hence resulting in the sane overall shaving time during the month. Don't know whether it's raised awareness of male cancers. Did get a very broad smile from a woman in her twenties yesterday, and I think this is usually done by younger men.
