I've got a lot more grey in my goatee than I did even a year ago. It's particularly noticeable under the fluorescent lights at work. Boy, is that a morale-booster at 6 AM.

A cow-orker suggested that I could shave it off if I wanted to look younger. Yeah, but then I'd get carded again...

Catch-22

You young puppy, you. I wear the white in my beard proudly.

Yeah, but you've had your grey longer. I'm just coming to terms with mine.

Suck it up!

For pity's sake, there is a third option. Dye the bugger. Yes, it's nasty chemical shit. Yes, it's likely to grow out quickly. You may want to try one of the cheap "shampoo dyes" and just use it on the beard.

Or you could just try lightening your hair... :)

Ppppttthpt!
Anyway, it's more fun to complain about it than it is to do something.

You'll get used to it. I actually like the one stripe in mine. The rest is slowly but inexorably turning white, so I better get used to it. Of course, I could shave it off, but I really don't wanna. <g>
