Now that is a spruce looking beard. Very impressive.

And equally impressive is that word!

Don't feel bad. I'm 35 and can only grow a not-too-thick goatee.

I have a long goatee myself. Bushy and about half grey.

Meanwhile, the hair on my head is 1/4" long. Sometimes as long as 1/3" right before a haircut.
