                                                Bearded since: 2004.  I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.
 Comments:
 I was studying the civil war and was struck by the huge variance in beard styles. It gave me the confidence I needed to give it a try.
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  We get along.
