                                                Bearded since: 1973.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard because I always wanted to do it since I was 10 years old. It was interesting to see beards on other men and I wanted to become one of them. Then I discovered the beauty of beardedness: the touch, stroking it, changing the look, amazing other men who would like to grow one: in a word, it's a delight. I started with full beard, changing to big handlebars in my 40th year, and finally this very long goatee. I like it a lot. 
 
How do I feel about my beard?  I feel very good. And I receive lot of compliments from all kinds of people. And I like it.
