Digilab Pro, For providing the poster prints for us for the event
My Friends, Sandra, Seb, Jack (Fellow shavee), Greg (Fellow shavee) and Deb. For offering me some support and for making the shave more enjoyable
My wonderful and ever tolerating girlfriend, Lauren. For continually putting up with me! Thanks babe
Pat from Event Photos, for offering his time to take some photos and provide them for me, You’re a good mate and I appreciate your help!

The day started well with Greg being the first to be shaven as he had to get to work, followed closely by Jack and finished off with myself. The process was simple for the two other guys, a simple shave, though for myself it was an arduous task. Firstly combing my hair, plaiting it, and then cutting the plaits to ensure that the hair could be donated. Whilst the shaving was under way Allan Leasegang from The Diecast Model Shop provided us with some food and the peak hour traffic offered some interesting reactions. Soon after my shave was complete Sandra and I took to the streets with tins rounding up donations in the peak hour traffic, donations were high and people were loving the enthusiasm of Sandra which entailed a series of chants, dances and songs which helped in the donation process. After some collections we decided to finally finish my shave and take my head down to skin, this was a long and very time consuming process. All in all, I had a fantastic time and am stoked to have raised $3134.50.

So now, I present the shots from the day!!! (Click to Enlarge)
