Have you noticed there seems to be more men sporting grey beards, Eddie Jordan, Damon Hill to name a few. I'm glad a started mine 6 months ago. There's only one thing worse than a man with Grecian 2000 in his hair and that's a man with Grecian 2000 in his beard.
Not being one of lifes most hairiest blokes its taken me 20 years (I'm now 41) to grow anything like a 'proper' beard and now when I do its fookin half white!!!!
