3. Moustache and goatee.
My wife made me grow them to look older. She's eight years older than me and she was self-concious about it. I like them just fine now.

4. Amish
I have a full beard, but occasionally I shave off the mustache when the hair starts to get so long that it will fall into my mouth.

I totally dig the "scruffy" look. And it's nice and scratchy. ;-)

7. Neatly trimmed goatee, no mustache, and sideburns.
At the moment, anyway...probably shave it off in a few months. I seem to go back and forth between clean-shaven and wearing a goatee (I just don't like mustaches or full beards, for some reason. Call it a personal quirk).

8. Goatee for me!
Had mine for some 33 years now with just 2 shave-offs (I think) in that time.
I had more gray in it 10 years ago than I do now since I've improved my diet. I keep mine on the longish side.

9. Since 1967
On the 4th of July weekend in 1967 I didn't shave. My wife liked the look. I've had a full beard ever since except for 1992. I shaved it off that year and my kids didn't like it.

11. I'm kind of scruffy...
Edited on Thu Dec-04-03 12:07 PM by sexybomber
I only shave on weekend nights when I have to look slick for the ladies. :evilgrin:

on edit: but my massive sideburns stay.

12. Mutton Chops
I dance in the Nutcracker every year, so starting in October when rehearsals start I start growing out the chops. It gives me a good 1890's look. They come off New Years Day.

13. Full beard and moustache
For reasons of both aesthetics and laziness.

And when it needs trimming, Mrs. Squeech actually enjoys maintaining it.

15. I never thought, years ago when I was a young man.....
..that I would ever be the kind of guy to wear a mustache and goatee.

Now, I couldn't see being without them.

I feel it makes me look more distinguished and somehow "sharper".

That, and it covers up a few facial imperfections that seem to occur once we get a bit older.

It would seem that quite a few DU men would agree.
