I'm a happy gray-beard. I earned it.



Me too, except I haven't yet developed the gonads to let it grow out for the
world to see.

I can't wait for mine to go salt and pepper, but I wear my long beard,
in the back

Wife says no beard, you would look like a skid-row bum. And no stash.

I had a beard for a while. I am not particularly hairy, so it took quite a
while to grow in. Then I discovered it was mostly grey with red highlights
(my hair is mouse brown) and looked stupid. Tried that Grecian formula
stuff that you brush in to darken it up. Finally shaved it off because
Mrs.E. kept complaining that I looked "scary".

It doesn't take gonads, all you have to do is stop shaving. I started
out with a goatee, and then just said "screw it" and grew a full beard.
It now takes me about 2 secs. to shave my neck. Since I am thinning
out on the top, I really didn't want to lose any hair, so I am just
letting it migrate south. to my face and (unfortunately) my back. I
don't let it grow long like Gene's so every week or two, I will run a
beard razor over my face to keep it short.
