                                                Bearded since: January 2008.  I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard for a camping trip that was a guys-only thing. But it ended up becoming part of me. So now I grow a beard at the same time every year.
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  I feel it is more than just hair. It's masculinity, manliness, and sets me apart from other men. A beard is also true freedom and a blessing.
