                                                Bearded since: 1992.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
My Dad always had a full beard when I was growing up.  I think that influenced me a bit. It also helps hide my chin, which is probably the main reason I grew one. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I like it a lot, though the wife's not too crazy about it. I wish it were thicker in spots. I'll never shave it off completely.
