Patrick:

Why not do what I did several years ago and throw in the towel
(literally) and grow a beard.  Beards are an accepted form of personal
appearance enhancement nowadays as long as they don't look as if you've
lived alone in the mountains too long.  I use those cheapo
plastic-handle throwaways to get rid of everything that doesn't look
like a beard and a Norelco Groomsman (no plug intended) cordless to keep
the rest trimmed up to my wife's approval.

Now if I could only get the darn thing a little darker than blond
gray...
