Bearded since: 1999. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard for many reasons -- I like beards and the look of men who wear them. I try to think of myself as an independent thinker, not following the crowd and I think beards subconsciously portray this. Finally, I just really like my own beard...although I do occasionally shave it off just for a change.

How do I feel about my beard? I just consider myself really lucky that I can grow a good one -- not so happy about the gray coming through, but there you go!
