Bearded since: 2001. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I've always interested in the 'old days' look of men and their style. Needless to say, all of them had a proud beard or at least a mustache.

So, I figured if it was good for them, it was going to be good for me.

So here we are, I;m a bearded man and damn proud of it.

How do I feel about my beard? It allows me to showcase any given mood. I can go classic with my friendly chops, or go beatnik with my goatee, or monk-like if I feel like it with my full face chin trim.

It is impossible not to grin at the looks people give, especially when sporting an obviously anachronistic style like mutton chops or a Franz Joseph.

I like that people like it.
