                                                Bearded since: 2006.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard because I feel happier with the way I look bearded. I always wanted a full beard from a young age but didn't think I couldn't grow one. In November 2006 I finally discovered I could!
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  Overall, I'm happy.  But if I'm being critical, the curliness makes grooming extremely difficult and disguises its true length. My strongest feature is the mustache, but I feel the beard could be thicker.
