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)

Hey All,

I’m proud to announce, that I’m participating in the WORLDS GREATEST SHAVE!!! I urge everyone to come down and watch me lose 5 years of hair! All proceeds go to charity and we will be doing many great things on the day!

I’m hoping to raise $5000.00 to help out!!

The funds we raise will help the Leukaemia Foundation to provide practical care and support to patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders, so be assured, it’s for a great cause!

I’ve had my hair since July 2005 and have been growing it in the dreams of getting dreadlocks, but having seen Lou Dare who I recently photographed, for the Worlds Greatest Shave, I decided I should do something to help charity, and here we are!
