And there's a lot more salt than pepper in it. ^_^

Don't think I'll let it reach the ZZ Aqualung stage though as it's just an experiment to see what I'd look like. Once I have a decent one, I'll take a few pics and revert to my putto looks.():)

I didn't realize until I tried to do the same thing - I actually grow a lot of red in my facial hair. I come from a line of Irish, but don't have any of the distinguishing features... except this. It's very odd to have very brown hair and a mostly red/blond beard.

I gotta agree with TallBill...Dennil IS a very odd-looking character...I'm not sure he quite rises to the "rapist" look...but he DOES look like a creeper. :biggrin:


Anyway...Dennil, go for it. You can do it if you choose.

Could it be any worse than this?

When I first started going gray, it was the reddish hair that went first...pepper with a touch of salt. Nowadays, it's harder and harder to find any salt in that mess of black pepper. :rolleyes:

Damn you Father Time!!

You've got the Anthony Hopkins as Odin All-Father look :cool:, except you still have both eyes. Do you drink like a Welshman? ;)

Heh...I guess that's not terrible. The daughter of one friend told me I looked like Dumbledore...another friend called me Gandalf...^_^

And no...I don't drink like a Welshman...I USED to drink like a Marine...take the top off a bottle of Whiskey and throw the cap away. (You can't re-cap a bottle of whiskey...it'll go bad over night!) :biggrin:

my beard has gone from solid black to 50/50 black and white in the past few years, amazing how quickly it can change.

I've started growing a mostly-salt one several times. Can't do it. Can't stand the itching.

Let it grow...the itching stops after a couple of weeks...or months. (depending on the beard and the face...either it stops itching...or you just get used to it, I don't remember)

i'd say about 95% of the people i see with beards look dirtier because of their beard. usually the only ones that don't look dirty are the ones that just keep a close cut one that is well groomed.

usually you can also see that people's skin under the beard is pretty nasty with bumps and what not. bug again, depends on the type of beard.

Yeah, I keep a groomed and trimmed super short beard and I guess it looks ok.

Also, OP, you do take childish insults from the likes of me well. :beer:
