Bearded since: 2009. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
Why did I grow my beard? During a particularly nasty winter storm (well, by Portland, Oregon standards anyway) I grew a beard. I shaved it off about a month and a half later. When my wife saw me clean shaven she said, "Oh, you shaved. Grow it back." So I gladly grew it back.

How do I feel about my beard? I love it.
