    If I could get away with it at work I wouldn't shave

    Same, my Wife keeps telling me to keep it, even though I think it makes me look like a grey badger.

    @Puff_Dougie, I think yours looks good!

    Doug, I vote keep.

    I realize this is a 100% un-asked opinion, but have you considered one of those beard dye kits?

    I am thinking of doing one; I have a lot of natural white, blonde, and red in my beard not to mention the gray my kids give me every day.

    I will do it if you will do it:

    Being native, I can't grow a beard. About all I can get is a shaggy goatee. But can only handle it for a short while before the itching drives me nuts.

    It looks good though.

    Keep it. It's hard to rock the all gray beard. I can't so I just do the van ****.

    Keep it grey. Oil it with a little grapeseed oil after your shower to handle itching and keep it soft. You'll thank me after the first three days of trying it.

    I tried that once. It just didn't feel right. Kinda like wearing a bad toupee... everybody knew it was not real. Besides, I worked hard to earn these white whiskers. :)

    If you want to go for a younger modern look I seen a guy with a zombie green mohawk the other day. Maybe that dye will work on beard as well...

    My ex had me doing the just-for-men dying routine for a couple weeks; you're right Doug, it just doesn't look right, and then in a day you have the gray roots anyway.

    I say shave it.  By the looks of that beautiful pelt you're sporting, it'd grow back in a week, so why not just do it until you get sick of shaving again.

    As soon as it starts getting cool in the fall, I grow mine out.  As soon as it starts getting warm, off it comes.  Shaved a couple weeks ago for the first time since October 1, too early, should've waited a couple more weeks.

    You gotta Sigmund Freud beard. Makes you look smart.
