Bearded since: 2005. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

Comments:
I joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) before I was even able to grow a beard. As I matured, I was never given the opportunity to grow one as they are forbidden in the RAF. I once grew a mustache in 2002 which I kept for three months. But it never really suited me. So I removed it. In November 2005, I left the forces, shaved my head and grew a thick goatee. Since then I have had several beards of varying styles and sizes and always regret shaving them off!

How do I feel about my beard? At the moment I have two-month-old full beard. I have shaved my cheeks and neck as my beard grows from high up near my eyes right down to my chest almost! I always feel very attached and proud of my beard and find myself stroking it often!
