New look for an old guy by NoPony on 27 Feb, 2013 11:33

Hi everyone, my name is James and I've just shaved my dome.
I'm a senior (76) living on Vancouver Island and for the past 20 or so years have sported a ponytail, on several occasions it's even been suggested I looked like 'George Carlin', rest his sole.
Anyhow long story-short, figured it was time for a change and so far it's all been positive.
I think I'm going to enjoy this forum. -

Hi James
Welcome to this great forum... The new look really suits you and so does the goatee.

Great look, really suits you - from one older guy to another (I'm 71). Goatee only adds to the great effect.
I hate to say it but I have always thought a pony tail on an older man is not a good look. -

That could be true, but as an artist I found out very early that looking the part allowed me to more then double the asking price of my pieces. -

Here is a comparison of the before and after.
One thing is for sure, the after is a lot easier to manage.

Welcome to the forum James. The sly plus goatee look is class, really suits you. Nice shine on the dome too!

Welcome mate!
Several people have told me the very same thing.

I think it is the fact that all the grey is gone, which then begs the question "what would a little touch up of the goatee" do for the look?
mmm!

James,
Welcome from not too far away here in Seattle! I will say that in your case, I actually thought the ponytail worked......knowing that you are a artist. But I do think you did take off some years by shaving your head. If you dye the goatee, I think you would take off even more. You are fortunate, it looks like your eyebrows have stayed dark. I am 52 and my eyebrows are graying so because of that I don't color my beard anymore! But enough about me! Welcome to this group and enjoy yourself! -
