Okay GameSpotters, here's the deal.

I rock a beard all year round. While previously I have shaved it off, only to grow it back in support of the excellent cause that is Movember, this year we're going to do things a little differently. YOU'RE going to decide how the beard comes off!

Over the next four weeks I will wear four distinctively different beard and/or moustache combinations of your choosing. All you need to do is express your thoughts on what you want to see, and I'll go with the majority vote. My dignity and the comfort of the wider public is on the line, but all I ask in return for making me a facial hair monstrosity is a donation towards our GameSpot AU team total (as much as you can comfortably give to charity) which you can do by clicking here.

I know it's going to be tempting to throw me straight into a crazy looking design in week one, but think long-term. I won't be re-growing anything that gets shaved off, only re-styling what remains. Since this is Movember, I'd also strongly suggest the inclusion of a moustache as part of the ensemble.

I'll do my first shave at the end of this week and update with photos. Which look do you want to see me wearing first?
