                                                Bearded since: 2008.  I am an experimental beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard because I just felt that it was time to grow it again. I've always felt that a nice beard is the mark of true masculinity, a beard is both rugged and beautiful. It may deter a certain kind of person (which is good because I don't want those people around me anyways) and it attracts the kind of people that I DO want around.
 
 How do I feel about my beard? I wish it were a little straighter.  My facial hair has a curl or twist to it.  So sometimes it looks a little ragged. I know that I need to get some good beard grooming advice. I'd love to find an old barber with a great beard who could show me how to make my beard look better.
