Bearded since: 2011. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

Comments:
Beards.org inspired me to have the confidence to grow a beard for the fall/winter season. I have always admired beards, but have usually shaved after a month or so, thinking that my beard looked unprofessional. These pictures are at about three weeks, and I'm really looking forward to the next couple of months of filling in.

How do I feel about my beard? I love having a beard, although I'm still getting used to it. My facial hair is really dark, which kind of amplifies the effect of having a beard. I like how it helps define my jaw line, and it feels awesome in cold weather.
