Bearded since: 2010. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard to defy what others told me, that it couldn't be done. You don't choose your beard. Your beard chooses you.

How do I feel about my beard? It was challenging at times. I remember people mocking me early in the process. There was a fine line between a five o'clock shadow and a full beard. But once you're truly committed and your beard declares itself, it is a beautiful thing. It is at that time you become a musician, because you're always fiddling with it.
