This man was a marketing masterpiece.
Several years ago I went for this look
Haven’t changed - love it
Also love shaving a lot lessWhich one’s me? :wink:
The face of evil…
No, that’s Russell Crowe
And if you don’t feel GREY is adequately descriptive. Perhaps you could use the term GREASY? :P
I look forward to the day it goes all the way grey or white.
Among other things, I get the sense that once you lack pigmentation people don’t find it as offensive if you have a longer or more wild beard. Just reminds people of Santa, wizards, deities, etc.

I’ve got a few grey hairs in the beard. Doesn’t bother me. My famous slogan will be when I’m fully grey and have beautiful woman draped on me, “I don’t always play military board games, but when I do I choose Axis & Allies.”
Yea good one from the “most interesting man in the world”
He once had an awkward moment just to see what it felt like
did I just see Gamerman and Wheatbeer? that shouldn’t be allowed on this site.
and clean shaven for me, just like my women…… :mrgreen:
Guys,
––All I can say is that there is a big difference between a well maintained beard and just some wild hairs growing on someones face. I don’t have hardly any pics of my beard, only some taken while at work, but I’ll share them, so get ready to be bored(g).

And a couple more…

Woo hoo! Trains!
Gamerman01,
Woo hoo! Trains!
––Yes, I’m a railroad conductor in Texas for the BNSF. Glad you liked the pics.
----I’m a railroad historian/collector/photographer/modeller primarily. And my passion for military history is a very close 2nd.

Cool :-)
That engine #129 was pretty
And you sure are tall and lanky
Gamerman01,

––Engine #129 was one of approximately 200 locomotives that were painted in the old Santa Fe “Warbonnet” passenger paint scheme in the 1990’s, like the Super Chief of years ago, to focus attention on the speed of our trains on the double-track mainline from Los Angeles to Chicago. My pic was taken in 2001 after it had been down-graded to local service. I have a pic of another “Warbonnet” unit on the point of one of my trains when I was running from Longview, Tx - Little Rock, Ark. We were in a siding about 20 miles north of Texarkana, Ark. and there was SNOW all around. We don’t get much snow down here in the South so I took a pic. I hope you enjoy.
––Yeah, I guess I’m tall & lanky,…but to tell the truth,…I’m the SHORTEST in my family! At least of the men. My sister is 6’-0" and was a model. My Dad was about 5 1/2" taller than me, but he’s started to shrink a little bit now that he’s 88!

Yep, that is one pretty engine - thanks for posting
The reason the German U-boat War gets more attention than the U.S Sub War in the Pacific, is the German Beards. :lol:
Did WW2 American Submariners have to shave?
I am guessing the German ones were exempt.
The U-Boat look is a good work, I will grant you.

American submariners have never had to shave (officially they did, but we don’t)- They have to be able to wear an EAB (Emergency Air Breathing mask) or SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) without trouble, but other than that no one cares while at sea. I had a semi-beard many times on the Submarine. We don’t get alcohol rations like the English do though…
