                                                Bearded since: 2002.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard initially because of laziness. But I quickly grew to like the look and feel of it. Plus, no one I know now would recognize me without my beard.
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  Primarily I love the feel of it. And I think I suit the bearded look, even if I often get stereotyped as either a hippie or a gang member (the long hair helps with that, too). I'd feel naked without my beard - bearded for life!
