Bearded since: 1975. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
Why did I grow my beard? Though my first (at sixteen years old) facial display was a mustache and long sideburns, I grew my first beard immediately upon discharge from the military. I have always liked beards, particularly full ones. I've always had facial hair of one form or another and a full beard has probably been the higher percentage over the years. Probably about the last year or year and a half, I've gone "full natural". It is fun being a part of the present interest that is going on, but I had a beard before it all came about, and will have one after, if it were to die off.

How do I feel about my beard? I fully enjoy it. I sometimes wish it were more dense. But, it is what it is. So I just "Keep on Trucking", as the ole saying goes. Its color and size has drawn my interest to perhaps try the Santa gig this coming Christmas. We shall see. : )
