To beard or not to beard?

[Tiki Tom]

Dumbledore as the grey bearded masculine archetype; powerful, wise, good.

Did you experienced this, too?

Back in the early 2000s, there were older teachers in their last years, on "Berufsschule" or wherever. The generation (1943/44...) , which was still into the beard thing on a regular basis. And you could see ald-fashioned beards, I thought to be "old-fashioned".

One example was a teacher, not colouring his practically white hair. He had a well trimmed all-over beard down to the neck, BUT he always had his chin clean!
I don't know, how this style is called, but when I think about it, I somehow get the point. I think, it's an attitude thing. And white his white hair, not a bad match.

^ I favoured Harry Potter up until JK Rowling decided to left turn its cover, chapter, and page.
However, it's all said and done now.

Back to beards-Plato's bust I recollect showed a fine curled trim beard which I hope to emulate.
I saw The Pope's Exorcist with Russell Crowe and Franco Nero and both wore facial hair supebly within film character.
A good flick, a bit more than necessary in my opinion, but still watchable.

Keep your beard, your sanity, your personalty, and your good looks. Your beard defines you, so march on, proudly. Yes, there are companies that are not impressed with or tolerant of beards. I think they are better than someone with snake tattoos on their necks and face.

I shaved last summer due London humidity but gave me beard another go this year.
