Had my mustache since '71. Had to shave it off for about 5 or 6 weeks back in '82. Use to grow a beard every winter but it's so gray now that I don't like the look. Not into the 'Just for Men' thing.

My wife tells me she likes the look of my grayish /white beard and mustache and gray head of hair. She says it makes me look "distinguished", like that guy Kenny Rogers . I guess she feels she needs to say nice things about her aging husband, but I always wondered distinguished as a what ?

Just a mustache. It changed my appearance more than I realized. Shortly after growing it I walked up to a friend of mine who was hosting some celebrity shin-dig and she just looked up at me with a "yeah, what do you want" look on her face. It wasn't until she heard my voice that she recognized me. She felt like a dolt. The whole time we were talking she kept looking at the mustache. When I got home I compared my face in the mirror with an pre-stache photo and there was quite a bit of difference. My sister said it made me look like a man. Gee, thanks sis. 
When I was a kid I liked to fool my dog by coming down the driveway with a mask over my face. I got some very funny reactions from him
.
My Dad grew a goatee because he didn't like the creases at the corners of his mouth because he said it made him look "older." But, now he look's like Colonel Sanders and Gabby Hays all rolled into one
. How much older can you look?

When I was a little kid I was always impressed by an uncle's stache. Although I always loved and respected my Dad, this uncle always looked, somehow, cooler. So I had this goal. By the time I'm 25 I'll have a cool mustache and I'll be married. I made it.
I grew a goatee, but it's not connected to to the stache, more of a Colonel Sanders/Buffalo Bill look than a Mike Piazza perfectly groomed sort of thing. And I've been known to shave it off now and again.
Would like to grow a full beard and have a Ernest Hemmingway, the later years, look. But I really don't see that happening for a while.
And by the way... my uncle shaved his mustache about 10 years ago. What's up with that?

Mustache and sideburns here (the mutton chops left back in the 70's) I had the misforturne of having to start shaving around 12-13 years old. I thought it was "way cool" back then and to be able to grow the hunting beard in high school.
Before my beard got thick though, dad used to tell me "Yer trying to cultivate on yer face what I grow wild around my butt" Still makes me chuckle. Wish all that hair on my face and where it's cropped up everywhere else, would grow back on my head. It doesn't bother me but come on, if I HAVE to grow hair, why not keep it where it belongs.....some kind of sadistic joke I'm thinking.
