I can't help but question their judgment.
I mean, sure, this is a contest aimed at promoting the Movember movement, in which men grow facial hair (http://kotaku.com/tag/facialhair/) during November to raise awareness of important men's health issues such as prostate cancer, but that doesn't mean you should toss the prize to some random Canadian who runs a beard trimmer over his chin. No offense to Mr. Fleece, who I am sure is a lovely man worth far more than $10 dead, but I could grow that by the time I'm finished typing this sentence.
Unfortunately I was not allowed to enter. Any attempt to shave off my facial hair, a requirement for the contest, results in my friends and family throwing themselves in front of my shaving razor, shouting "No!" in slow-motion. Apparently I look like a mutant Cabbage Patch Kid when clean-shaven.
I hereby deem this contest biased against men who cannot shave off their existing facial hair for fear of serious social repercussions.
Still, congratulations to Mr. Fleece. I do appreciate him stepping up to the shaving mirror to represent men's health issues, even if he's a facial hair lightweight.
