COULD this be a record for the World's Greatest Shave?

Department of Sustainability and Environment staffer Alan Webster (right) shaved off his moustache last Friday - after 32 years.

Alan said it felt very strange indeed to have the caterpillar off the lip and his three sons who have never seen him without it did a double take every time they looked at him.

Even more mo-mentous is the amount Alan raised - $39,000 at last count - making him the biggest individual fund raiser for the leukemia charity in Australia.

Alan would love to make it a round $40,000 and it's not too late - just go to the World's Greatest Shave website.
