I've had a mustache since I graduated from boot camp in '79. Since retirement from the CG, I've had a goatee a few times but it's all grey now and it makes me feel older than I am.

I think I may grow another.

Beardcore! I feel bad for those who shave their facial hair off. Lol

My facial hair is red - redder than what's on top of my head - well, it used to be - it's slowly being replaced with white hair (I'm bypassing "grey" and going straight to "white" LOL.)
Mine did the same thing. Took about 6 months to go from a dark brown (almost black) to near white. The change happened so fast that I never even noticed a gray, though it probably did happen.

I'm guessing that you get to play Santa a lot.

Winter only here. I start growing it around October 1, and shave it off for Easter. I absolutely cannot stand going more than a couple days without shaving during summer. Most of the time I keep the beard trimmed, but I have let it go 6 months with only trimming the mustache (don't like the mustache as a condiment). I may do that again this year.

I keep a buzzcut on top, which is darker blonde. My beard is more reddish brown, but there are getting to be more than just a couple gray hairs on either side, just below the chin.

I used to shave in the summer but I got married in the month of July and my wife wanted me to keep it so I didn't shave that summer. I've kept it on since.

Since this thread came around, my wife has clearly stated that shaving means I get to sleep on the couch.
I think the best part is that I can go for a week without doing any sort of facial hair maintenance and nobody can tell.

I've always wanted a Fu Man Chu beard stache combo. When my facial hair gets whitish grey I'll start working on one.
