My beard is growing back. It is mostly gray now.

Should I leave it alone or slice it off and be clean shaven?

I don't care to shave and I don't care to itch so I can't make my mind up.

If you like the way you look in a beard, keep it...the gray doesn't matter. Just keep it trimmed and nice :)

Or shave but no complaining...be happy you aren't doing your legs every day! (or is there something you aren't telling us? LOL!)

I think whatever makes you happy. If you don't like the gray; you can colour it. As Galedgirl said; be happy you don't have to shave your legs or under your arms; as well as plucking your eyebrows. Want to trade places? laugh

I disagree on the coloring...have rarely seen it look natural and I know several men who tried that beard color stuff and it made them itch like crazy. As fast as a beard grows, how would you even keep up with it??? Might as well shave if you are going to go to that much trouble, IMHO...but other gents may want to chime in here.

Aargh! The gray will stay if the beard stays, it makes me look my age though.

Like the others have said, if you like it, keep it. Otherwise, shave it. It's all up to you.

I have seen guys colour their beard and they do a salt and pepper look and they did not itch at all as it depends on your skin or the product. Women have been colouring their hair for years and I don't hear of women itching from hair colour. A beard looks awesome actually if its done right.

I'm a fan of beards. They tickle.

Just sayin...
