I've had a beard off and on for years. Sometimes full, sometimes short, sometimes with big 'burns, sometimes not, sometimes with moustache like here, sometimes w/o. At the moment I have a fairly long tuft on my chin, but shaved cheeks and lips; I'm told I look "Quaker" or "Almost Amish". On the other hand, in this photo from 1892 I had huge sideburns but a shaved strip in the middle where the beard now is. There's a noticeable but not predominant amount of grey in it, whereas my head hair is almost 100% the colour of youth.
