                                                Bearded since: June 2012. I am an experimental beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
Wanted to grow a Wyatt Earp-style mustache, but do not look good in just a regular mustache. So I planned to eventually cut the beard. Have grown many beards for the stage and cut them to period, but have never had a straight beard. I am going to keep this one. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I am a historian and many say this fits me. I like my beard. I think the patches of gray make me look distinguished.
