Yeah, I mean I'm lucky because I grow a full beard. *I've had
  grown men compliment it. Envy was common from those who can't
  grow [most men can't] but one day, a guy got out of a car about
  20-30 years older than me. Shocking white hair, amazing beard.

  He looked up at me after getting out of the car and said, "Hey,
  nice beard". I replied, "You too, man". He nodded, I nodded, and
  off we went on our separate ways, never to be seen again.

  Brotherhood of the beard I guess. Strange thing. I just grow it
  because I _hate_ shaving and a dog trimmer disguised as a "Wahl
  hair trimmer" for humans is all I need.
