                                                Bearded since: 1999 (off and on -- literally). I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower, but would prefer to be a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

I grow my beard because I enjoy the beard-growing process and the way it changes, redefines my face. I love having my beard. Love the texture, tactile sense. Love the look it gives me.
