As men around Australia continue to grow the hair on their upper lip, Emmanuel Lambou’s moustache has copped all sorts of comments.

I’ve been told I look a bit retro, 70s, porn star, pool cleaner, Maexican cartel – I’ve got it all.

“I’ve been told I look a bit retro, 70s, porn star, pool cleaner, Mexican cartel – I’ve got it all,” he said.

Emmanuel is growing a moustache as part of Movember, which aims to promote funds and awareness for men’s health issues – namely prostate cancer and depression.

After 11 days of growth, Emmanuel has raised a tide $815 – not bad for simply not shaving. And he says he’s discovering a brotherhood of solidarity among Melbourne’s moustachioed men.

“If you do see someone with a mo, and they look back at you and it’s like an acknowledgement that we’re mo bros,” he said.
