                                                Bearded since: 2012. I am an experimental beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
Why did I grow my beard? After years of denying myself the opportunity to grow a beard, because of the stigma brought about beards and their stereotypes, I decided it was time. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I have learnt to love my beard even in the early stages. My mustache does not connect to my beard, which was one of the main reasons that I decided against growing.  But I am hanging in there and going strong.
