                                                Bearded since: 2007.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard because I have always admired men with beards and thought it made them look more powerful. 
 
How do I feel about my beard?  I think it gives me a quality of respect that I couldn't seem to get with a "clean" face.
