Bearded since: August 2012. I am an experimental beard grower.

Comments:
Why did I grow my beard? I simply hate shaving. The beard distinguishes a man from a woman. When I was clean shaven, I noticed the difference in how women behave towards me, as opposed to when I am wearing a beard. I get less arguments and less hassles from men and women when I am wearing my beard. Leviticus 19:27 ...ye shall not round the corners of thy head, neither shall thy mar the edges of thy beard. I think that says it all!

How do I feel about my beard? It's a part of my body. I will probably never shave again! Job or no job! I love the fact that I don't have to worry about cutting myself shaving. I love the effect my beard has on other people. I get all kinds of reactions. You can see the negative emotions in people's faces. It acts as a screen to filter out the people I wouldn't waste my time with in the first place. I love my beard!
