Dennis G Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks for all the opinions. I'm sure you all realize I made the post just to be kinda silly. At least it wassn't one of those "pickguard on or off" polls LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I'm pretty sure I was born with a beard...Grin~ I was born with a full head of hair - fat lot of good that did me! I've had a some form of a beard since I got out of the Air Force in 1971. I shaved it down to a goatee when the beard got too grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I only grew a beard twice in my life. My wife hated it although I grow a great filled in beard. It was because I worked outside in the winter at Union Pacific Railroad and I grew a goatee 2 or 3 times. She loved that because it was all grey. My best feature is my mustache that I had ever since high school. I did shave it once when I got married but she loves my mustache. She calls it a Tom Selleck mustache as well as others. I'm totally Grey now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally Grey now. Grey is the new blonde I reckon and I was called distinguished looking by a medical professional once and rather liked the sound of that. Besides it makes you look wise and even if thats not true, its nice that people might think you are. Like I said before, I think I was born with a beard and have only shaved it off once in the 40 years of my marriage. My wife took one look, burst into tears and told me to grow it back......quickly~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Shave it off, replace with a pick guard, unless you're worried about screw holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Shave it off, replace with a pick guard, unless you're worried about screw holes? Only if it's one of those pearl looking ones like rct put on his EJ Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig me mate, I wish I could do the same thing. But my sausage is attached for good. family trait . So the beard covers the double chin, or in my case a triple.

Retired Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The one time I shaved the mustache was because she wanted to see me without it and then gasped and said, looks like I robbed the cradle. You look so young, grow it back and no more kisses until it gets back on! She loves me in a goatee too but the beard is too scratchy to kiss. Go figure!

pippy Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 ...I think it suits you - a bit Grohlesque!... I was thinking a bit Dustin Hoffman! I say on. I, too, think it suits you. FWIW the last time I shaved was around 36 years ago. I usually leave it for a couple of months and then crop it close with hairdressing scissors. My hair started going grey when I was 28 (my mum noticed before I did) but the transformation from brown to grey overall been a very slow process. Now, almost 30 years later, it's probably 85% grey / 15% dark brown. My beard, OTOH, was ginger (Viking / Irish genes!) which gave me a bit of an odd look. Folks used to ask (seriously!) whether I dyed my hair brown or my beard red... Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I say it stays. Keep the gray. Looks great. Very unlike the hipster beards I see all the time these days. Maybe it's just that I'm blessed with a good, tidy beard, but if your "beard hair" is all pubic-hair curly, why grow a feet of it in your face?
