                                                Bearded since: 1999.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 I have had a goatee since 1995, but hated the way my mustache grew in (blondish, where the beard/goatee grew in copper-colored).  So I never grew the whole thing. I shaved *everything* in 1999 (even body hair, all over) for a drag show/charity event, and while growing it back, I decided to grow it all in at once. Suddenly, the mustache grew in the same color as the beard, and I loved it. I've had the beard ever since.
 
 How do I feel about my beard? I love mine, and I love seeing them on other people. I always have.
