                                                Bearded since: 2004. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard because almost everyone here in the interior of Alaska does in the winter. It can get as cold as -70 F here in the winter. The temp averages about -30 F, so a beard becomes more of a necessity rather than a fashion statement. Jesus had a beard! Every man should proudly grow his "SPROUTS!" 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I love it! It's like having a second head of hair. A big full beard represents a man's celebration of manhood!
