Bearded since: 1995. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard because I admire beards on men and grew up with bearded men. Once I had a job where my employer didn't complain about me being bearded, I stopped shaving.

How do I feel about my beard? It's full and thick, multi-colored. I just want to grow it longer without it getting all frazzled. I've changed it a lot over the years, but I keep coming back to the full beard, often with the cheeks a bit shorter than the chin.
