Blake

Bearded since: 2013. I am an experimental beard grower.

Comments:
My girlfriend of five years, who would not allow me to grow a beard, left me. With her departure, the only natural reaction was to grow a beard become free and let my beard do all the talking. Subsequently, my beard also annoys my boss, which in my eyes, is an extra bonus.

How do I feel about my beard? My beard has become part of who I am. I am free of the obligation and the rigors of straight razor shaving. I am no longer living my life for someone else.
