                                                Bearded since: 1980.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard to cover my multitude of chins. 
 
It is very thick / dense. I can't let it get too long or it starts to hurt when I sleep on it. This Big 'Stache pic was the first time I had seen my chin in over 20 years. I shaved that last July, but grew my beard back less than a month later.
