This fun screen saver, or as it is better known, The Screen Shaver, was developed as part of a Movember fundraising campaign. The quirky screen saver features an animation of one hairy dude and when your computer is not in use, he begins shaving off all of his body hair—except for that wicked moustache. The Screen Shaver is available for both PC and Mac computers, and can be downloaded for just $1.99, with all proceeds going towards The Movember Foundation.
The Screen Shaver creators Bas van de Poel, Daan van Dam and Wong Ping developed this Movember project as a way to involve those who can't get their own beard or moustache going, or those who are are just too lazy to bother with grooming. Whether you're choosing to rock and epic 'stache this November or not, this is a great way to support research and raise awareness for men's health issues and cancers.
