I've had a Van Dyke beard for years (it might be over... 20 years). It has mostly gone grey (the first grey hairs arrived with the knowledge my wife was pregnant with our first kid... I shit you not).
I like my beard because it gives me a stronger chin than I have without it. It also makes shaving much easier and less bloody. My wife likes it. I don't know why.
I've never had the patience to grow a full beard but I suppose I will try one day.
