I suspect a beard would be ALL white now...

Feedback?
It has been suggested I grow a beard because of slowness & difficulty shaving. Hmmm-- I do not like it coming in, I do not recognize myself in the mirror; Canat in Mongolia though grinning said of this photo that I looked like a "big EEvan" (Ivan, ie a Russian), and though he grinned I do not know if he approved. But found this relatively youthful-- more than 12 years ago ie pre 50 pic of me with beard (& my favorite Gyr tiercel who died of Asper-- If I could find/ afford one like him I would buy or steal a horse or 4 wheeler & the hell with my legs...), and I don't hate it. What say, Q readers?

Very dashing, sez I.
And a Happy New Year to you and yours.

It has an Old English, Sean Connery-kind of appeal to it. I vote "YES!"
A beard suits you, and having avoided the chore of shaving my upper lip for a decade now, I can attest that the time saved and frustration avoided is worth it.
Beard trimmers are rather inexpensive now, and pay for themselves quickly given just how expensive blades have become.
Go for the beard.
If you have a Sean Connery look, it is imperative that you begin addressing your bare-faced blond grandson as Brother Carnahan. And use the phrase "I can froth at the mouth something horrid...."
At least he will believe I am male- with my deep hoarse voice and no beard, unlike his dad's & others' faces, I think he is dubious about my identity...
You know my answer, I think.
Well, to quote from a favorite movie of mine(the character Batiste, in "A Man Called Horse")--"Not even old squaw kiss hair-on-face!". Although I'm sure lotsa squaws might beg to differ--I just wanted to use that quote! I suppose it is politically incorrect now(sigh)--sorry......But as for beards--I personally don't like them--itchy, food gets encrusted in them(especially after a particularly savage glut), just another hairy place you havta check for external parasites--if I could blink and never have to shave again, I would--maybe that's the 1/64th Commanche in me talkin'. I only grew a full one ONCE--by request of some local casting agents when I was an "Xtra" on "Last of the Mohicans" lo, those many years ago. Portraying a coureur de bois(type casting, don't you know), the casting ladies wanted me looking a bit "rougher"(I couldn't be an Injun Xtra--which is what I wanted to be--apparently my 1/64th Commanche heritage wasn't enough for these nit pickers)--so told me to grow a beard--which I did, frightenly quickly! But no, they didn't like that either, turns out, they said I looked too much like a "Jesus"! Jesus as a coureur de bois! Now THAT'S a subject fer a movie! I guess he sorta was a "coureur de desert"! Anyway, the brief time I had that itchy, tiresome thing hanging off my face, I HATED it! But to each HIS own(and I AM NOT being sexist here saying "HIS"!)....L.B.
