Beards also do a fine job of camouflaging weak chins and double chins.
Don't remind me!

I wear a mustache only in summer, and a well-trimmed beard in winter. I think a fedora and beard combo work just fine!
Maybe for some. When I had a faceful of hair and a dark fedora, I was more than once mistaken for hasidim.

That 'll teach ya not to wear your black frock coat and 3" brimmed Borso with a beard up your way :eusa_clap. For me, I've had a 'stach since 'nam back in '69 and when I grew a beard back in the late '70s it was a FULL Hemingway style of beard, not these 5 day growths that is being passed off as a "beard" these days! I've a couple of freinds who sport long beards ala ZZ Top and they look alright with their long white hair on them!
I went to a bris ten years ago, semi-casually dressed, with no hat on, short hair (with no side curls), but even with western boots and belt on, the person who opened the door asked if I was the mohel. I took out my Leatherman tool and said "yes," and walked on in. The parents of the baby boy still find this amusing. Everyone agreed it was the beard. Last summer I went to an old-fashioned barber shop nearby, and the guy asked if I wanted my beard trimmed. It was a bit scraggly, so I said yes. I was pretty relaxed and didn't pay attention, and he proceeded to take my full beard down to Don Johnson-Miami Vice-style stubble. It was the first time I'd seen my face in about 25 years, and the very first time my wife had seen my lower facial regions. It was a long couple of months growing my chin back. Still gives me the willies. Frank
