Bearded since: 2004. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

Comments:
The first time I grew a beard, I made a choice not to shave or cut my hair for three months. The result was a sweet beard that had everyone talking so I ran with it. I usually grow out a beard for two-to-four months, shave for one-two months, then grow out the beard again. I just go by how I'm feeling at the time. A beard is a blessing.

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard! It is a personal challenge to grow it and it really tests my patience. I get so many compliments and it is a cool way to change my entire appearance.
