You guys are so sweet with the remarks to John, that I'm gonna go into a diabetic shock. Yes, he looks great SLY!But as for his flawless, shadowless head ~ that's due to the fact that he's shavin' off grey/white hairs.And as for the Mr. Clean look that he sported for a short itme ~ it just wasn't that great a look. The guy is 50+ and that complete hairless look just accentuated the dark circles that he has under his eyes. He looked even older w/o facial hair. His beard balances and evens things out. Now John's chosen the best look for himself.....it's more powerful and therefore gives off a youthful edge ~ his SLY bearded self!Seems BaldAndre is influencing many guys to go the facial hair free Mr. Clean route. For most it just doesn't work. Andre has a stubborn mindset when it come's to this Mr. Clean course of action!! Truth is he looked best with his famous signature bottom goat.
Damn, did someone have a bad day or do we just need to throw a few compliments your way?I can not speak for the other guys here but I meant what I said about John's "clean" look a while back. I personally thought he rocked the best look with the beard and slick dome. As far as any kind of dark circles go that's just one other personal characteristic that makes John who he is.

There you go Lance, making negative assumptions about my intentions. As you can see I have a bad case of shadow on my head. I admire John's shadow-free dome. And the reason he has no shadow is that his hair is light. I can't wait until my dark hair to gets lighter.As for the comment about dark circles, I have them too in combination with puffiness. Why do ya think I'm wearing the shades? It is my experience that some form of facial hair detracts from the eye stuff and balances out the whole SLY look.Once again Lance, I feel you misunderstood my post. It was not intended to be negative. Peace, bald brother!

PS; like most everyone, i'm not interested in looking "old" I had premature gray hair at 35, had a bit of a crisis with THAT ; but came to accept it, feel comfortable with it. On the other hand, Even though my beard is quite white; I've decided that it's really the look for me (have had it since I was 20). So if now people take me for "50+" instead of 45, that's cool with me. John
I think he feels that there's something about white hair which is almost magical (gandulf & wizards etc) whereas grey, like thinning hair, is more just associated with ageing - I guess for him it's similar to the slyness over thinning hair thing - anyway, he feels better about it & that's what counts. Oh & just for the record - with the Mr Clean look going on, I would have guessed your age to be early to mid 40's, with the beard I'd say 45 to 50 ish but though the beard may add a few years, it's in a good way & facial hair by it's nature always adds a few years anyways I think.
