                                                Bearded since: 2000.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I hate to shave on a regular basis. I have pretty much always had some form of facial hair (beard, Van Dyke, goat, chin curtain, friendly mutts, or handle bar) since 2000. I wasn't sure how good it would come back after cancer treatments that included radiation on my face. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I like it. I really want to let it grow long. My wife loves my beard.  So that is good, but she isn't sure about letting it get really long.
