                                                Bearded since: 2004. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard because I'm a 24-year-old male who generally looks 18 (or younger) without a beard. I've been growing goatees on and off for several years now, but decided recently to grow a full (chin line) beard. Things take time, as do beards. Hopefully with time, the small patches will fill in. Despite such, I plan on growing until the spring (at the least).
