Bearded since: 2003, off and on. I am an experimental beard grower.

Comments:
For me, it's a religious devotional act as well as an act of beautification and a way of going against the grain of what most people in society find desirable about a man.

How do I feel about my beard? I'm content with it. I realized that if I just stopped trying to grow the "perfect" beard, and started to just grow one that has the basic shape that I like, even though it's rough around the edges, then I should be able to pull it off...successfully growing a beard that is.
