                                                Bearded since: 1993.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard because I forgot my shaving kit at home during a break from college. I decided to give growing a beard a try.  And it looked good, so I kept it.
 
 Recently in a beard-trimming tragedy (heh), I shaved my face for the first time in years. So now I'm beginning again to grow the beard.
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  I like my beard. I think it gives me more of a jawline and a better-defined chin than I would have otherwise-- and it attracts people I want to attract. :)
