There's the Fu Manchu, the Dali, the Handlebar, the Pencil, the Super Mario, the Zorro, the Watson and the Chaplin.

This Movember, many moustached men may be grooming, trimming and waxing these styles in mirrors across the country.

For this annual fundraiser, men grow moustaches throughout November to raise awareness - and mo' money - for prostate cancer research.

This year, Port Coquitlam's firefighters are growing their 'staches to support the cause.

Firefighter Ryan Masi said the entire department of 63 guys has signed up and is ready to sport their stubble.

"I've never had a moustache, ever, which is a common theme around the fire hall," Masi said.

To comply with Movember rules, all participants must start on Nov. 1 with a cleanshaven face. For the rest of the month, they must grow and groom their moustache.

However, the Mo can't meet up with sideburns or it will be considered a beard. Likewise, handlebars can't join with the chin or it will be considered a goatee.

For Masi, along with fellow organizers Adam Myles and Kirk Paterson, the most important part of the monthlong moustache marathon is to raise funds for a good cause.

"We're going to visit all the shifts at work, take pictures of them and upload them to the [Movember] website, so it gives all our friends and family something to look at.

It's going to be a good laugh, I think, for a lot of people," Masi said.

"A lot of guys are going to have trouble growing a moustache. A lot of guys are going to grow funny-looking ones.

Even if it looks good, it will just be different. I think if we can give them something to look at on the website, there's more of a chance of them donating."

The local firefighters will also host a fundraising hockey tournament on Nov. 18 at Planet Ice Coquitlam from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A dozen Lower Mainland fire department teams will compete in the four-on-four tourney, with all proceeds going to Movember.

"We encourage people to come out and cheer on the firefighters, laugh at our mustaches and buy some of our raffle tickets, which include some awesome prizes all donated by our local retailers," Masi said.

The team also has some inhouse initiatives collected for moustache motivation.

"We have some prizes at work for anybody that does go the whole month, so there's some incentive there," Masi said.

"We also have an early shave-off fee, so if somebody grows their moustache but only lasts two weeks because it looks so horrible, we're going to charge them for it if they shave it off."
