My dad, used to have a world class moustache, but because he loves my mom, he had to shave it off as it pricked worse than provoking a porcupine. Lucky for me, my wife Ashleigh loves my furry mane. So does Raphael, my son. I\u2019m like their very own authentic Portuguese teddy bear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in the day, Chris says he was never much of a groomer, but these days he\u2019s embracing what his heritage is synonymous for &#8211; producing well-groomed men.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34995\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34995\" style=\"width: 283px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34995 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230929-WA0015-e1698057514677-283x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230929-WA0015-e1698057514677-283x400.jpg 283w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230929-WA0015-e1698057514677-297x420.jpg 297w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230929-WA0015-e1698057514677.jpg 486w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris and his colleague who is also an avid Mo Bro.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBeard and moustache care is a strict part of the family heritage and teachings. This is ingrained from a young age and past down from generation to generation. When you wake up in the morning, your wife is to bring you a warm facecloth produced by the finest linen manufacturer in Portugal. While warming your pores, she gives you a facial massage, strokes your beard, twirls the ends of your moustache and offers your favourite breakfast, because she knows that like Samson, your beard is your strength. After breakfast, you wash your moustache and beard with Sunlight soap (the green bar). You do not use facial oils and mousse, as this weakens the hair. It must feel strong and tough. Then you check for any hairs out of place, trim, and aftershave is a must because it\u2019s manly. Three slaps on each side of your face, a kiss from your wife and you\u2019re ready to go!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While picturing this ritual that gave us a good chuckle, we thought most men would take advantage of a family member who is skilled in the art of \u2018barbering\u2019. But Chris does not, as his grandfather refuses to charge him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t love my grandfather, just that if something goes wrong, I can\u2019t get my money back.LOL! Another trait taught to young Portuguese children in life skills 101. There is the famous saying, I only hear from you when you need something and I never want anyone to say that about me. So I go to my local guru \u2013 a man trained in the art of fine moustache and beard craftsmanship with specialist precision like a surgeon, and he doesn\u2019t touch my face with anything other than a surgical blade. I don\u2019t use any special waxes or oils, but I do carry soap and a small comb in my grooming kit. My dad makes peri-peri sauces and my hidden secret to grow a beard overnight, coupled with being Portuguese, is to rub this sauce on any patches of my face that are being lazy. I swear it works. It also cures any flu-like symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34992\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34992\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34992 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00670.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Cam Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When it comes to eating when sporting a mo, Chris says there are some things one should approach with caution. \u201cFrothy cappuccinos and Portuguese rolls are banned! And soups, hot dogs and cheese grillers should all be eaten far away from the beady public eye!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On men\u2019s mental health, Chris says in today\u2019s chaotic world, the struggles of trying to make ends meet, juggling work, family and South Africa\u2019s current economic crisis, all wreak havoc on society, and men in particular, who he explains are stereotypically expected to be strong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost men are unlikely to ask for help when they need it most. Not me. For myself, my family, my sanity, I found it necessary &#8211; and life-changing \u2013 to get help from an expert I resonate with. This helps me to cope with different circumstances and helps me to be there for my family, and maybe even make a difference to others too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of family, Chris places huge emphasis on the appreciation he has for Ashleigh and Raphael.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople don\u2019t understand how much a supporting wife can help with a man\u2019s mental health, and Ashleigh has been incredible to me, as well as our son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As such, Chris\u2019 involvement in the TMG Movember Expo is in solidarity with men\u2019s health and, more recently following the death of his beloved grandmother to cervical cancer, raising awareness around cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been involved with the event since inception in 2021. The initial direction was to create awareness around men\u2019s health which at the time was under strain as so many small businesses were affected by the riots. We opened it to these vendors for free, and it was really well supported by our local community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to this year\u2019s event, and Chris is more involved than ever before as there\u2019s a charity angle to it as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy gran was the pinnacle of our family. Losing her hit home, so I made a commitment to becoming as actively invested as I could with this event, alongside my manager who is an avid men\u2019s health supporter. This year\u2019s event is going to be bigger and better than ever. It\u2019s on Saturday, November 4 at the Automark Showroom in Westville and has everything to do with men\u2019s health awareness, and exciting hobbies and interests. Plus we\u2019ve got a celeb or two on board. Doors are open from 9am and entry is R30 online and R40 at the door, which goes to charity. Please support this worthy initiative. Your support could help save a father, a brother, a son, a friend, a partner or a man\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34979\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34979\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-34979\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/10\/DSC00614.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Cam Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Chris\u2019 tips for growing a mo \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accept that you are not a beard growing specialist.
