Wider Goatee

[drscott]

Over the last few years, I've trimmed away at my goatee as gray hairs took it over from both sides, until it had narrowed to a small dark patch. I let it grow in the weeks we've been packing and kept the gray muted with some chemical assistance. How does it look?

Oh, and my hair is really getting thin in the front. I cut it shorter and shorter to compensate.

[*blush*] Thanks!

Gray hair is sexy!

On some people, definitely. On me, not so much!

Ya know I do not think you
have much to worry about.
You are a goodlooking guy and can
pull off anything life brings.

You're my mother posting under a pseudonym, right? :-)

Chemical assistance is no different than taking vitamins and antibiotics. It is medicine for our beards! The results look good to me :-)

I strongly feel that people should do whatever they need to do in order to feel better about themselves. In my case, I said "fuckit" and shaved my head, rather than look at the patchy hair on the front of my scalp. I see no reason that you shouldn't dye your facial hair.

And jodfoster is entirely correct. You've always had beautiful eyes.

Wow your eyes are extremely nice!

I think you're ridiculously handsome.

He who fishes in these waters will harvest an abundant catch, it is said.

You look great, as always, putting the rest of us in your (approximate) age cohort to vast shame. It may be just the lighting or the camera settings, but I might suggest experimenting with a slightly lighter shade of chemical assistance on the goatee - I've heard one should generally err on the side of a lighter shade with these things, though I've only ever tried it once to disastrous effect. And in your case, I wouldn't want to be responsible for messing with perfection.

You look as handsome as you always have to me.

Nothing wrong with gilding the lily.
I dyed my beard for years.

As we gradually come into maturity, I take solace that many of these changes are symbols of time, experience, and hopefully wisdom.

Hot, but I think I'd prefer the gray. Would soften your tone and really make your eyes pop.
