A few years ago, during summer, when starting to fade, my husband let grew a beard style goatee (look at the link)
http://www.beards.org/styles.php
but only during a few weeks. Now that we are free of the 'diktat' of the org, I suggested him to let it grow again. Wow, he looks like a 'professor' with his white beard! The few people who knows him are surprised, but most of them like it. Me too!
