It was a fun 30 days but all good things must come to an end – will you banish or trim your newly-grown Movember ‘Mo? Here are our recommendations to get either done.

So how does it feel to be moustache-free at the start of November? Or are you one of the brave among us striding into work with a giant handlebar tache, having become so enraptured with your newfound facial fuzz during Movember? If so, you’re made of stronger stuff than us.

Wives and girlfriends throughout the country have been waiting for this day to arrive since November 1st and if you’ve been suffering through the last month with an itchy upper lip, there’ll be nothing more freeing than banishing a Burt Reynolds imitation tache for once and for all. Thankfully, the grooming experts at Remington have chimed to give us their much-needed wisdom on how to sculpt your facial fuzz or shave it off for good.

According to Remington, a fine moustache requires quality shaving equipment that will achieve strong clean lines and give a close and smooth shave. So which is the right shaver for you, or if your other half has been complaining of you walking around looking like a German baron, which is the most subtle Christmas present they can opt for?

Friend or foe?

For €39.99 you can go for the Remington Flex and Pivot Rotary Shaver, which features three independent flexing heads, a pop-up trimmer, a 2 year guarantee and offers a close, clean shave. A slight step up in price is required to obtain the Dual Foil Flex and Pivot Shaver (€54.99), which features flex and pivot technology, a titanium-coated trimmer blade and up to 60 minutes usage time.

Finally, for those looking for a luxurious shaving experience, the 360 Flex and Pivot Technology (€89.99) is ideal. Featuring three independent flexing heads, an LCD display panel (ooh), titanium coating and a pivoting main head, the shaver is top of the company’s current range.

Remington’s range of electric razors feature a pivoting design feature which allow the shavers to negotiate the difficult angles of their face, while the Pivot & Flex technology apparently allows the shaver to roll over the chin and jawbone with ease. However, if you’ve been growing any other interesting body hair topiary over the last month, keep it to yourself – we at JOE are only here to help your moustache!
