Shaveril is a new concept asking beardos to shave it all off during the month of April, then post a before and after picture/video to Twitter, Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #shaveril and make a small donation to mental health charity – Mind – via text code or website. Newly clean shaven participants are invited to pass the challenge to their bushy faced friends.
And that’s what I’m doing now.
Yesterday I attended the Shaveril launch party and pop-up barbershop at the Hoxton and got a super smooth shave from Chris, who was donating his time away from his business: Huckle the Barber (with shops on Old Street and Lamb’s Conduit). Then I texted a small donation to the cause. Got a beard? Why not consider shaving it off this month in support of Mind.
Mind is a charity providing advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem and campaigning to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding of mental health issue.
