Auckland barber aims for a Guinness World Record by completing 400 haircuts in eight hours

His name is Brendan Blake and he has been a barber in Auckland for the last 18 years. He plans to try for a Guinness World Record for giving 400 haircuts within eight hours. It will be a part of his fundraising efforts for Movember Foundation, which tackles men's health issues including cancer and mental health issues.
He himself is a cancer patient and two of his friends have committed suicide last year.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 18 October 2016.

Brendan Blake or Bundy, as he is better known, owns barbershops in Auckland and Wellington. He has been barbering for 18 years and is now getting together a team to achieve the world record for the most haircuts given by a team of 10 barbers in eight hours. The present record is 375 and he plans to break it with his team.
He has been given the thumbs up from the Guinness World Book of Records and the haircut day will be held at the Britomart Country Club on November 18. They aim to keep haircuts to 10 minutes each and, apart from two-minute breaks between each haircut, the team will keep going non-stop for eight hours.
Bundy's has his own record of 48 haircuts in one day of work.
