Bearded since: 2010. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I've always looked at people with beards with a little awe but perhaps assumed that I would be unable to pull it off myself. I used to shave every day for work and I really hated having to shave. I work quite a long day and even a few more minutes in the bathroom in the morning start to feel like an age. Eventually, last year when I had a couple of weeks off in a row I decided to stop shaving and see what happened. I liked the results and stuck with it and I've never looked back.

How do I feel about my beard? I love having a beard. I feel happier about the way I look and best of all I find that I quite like playing with it on the train or when I'm watching television. I've got a few friends with beards and it's great to catch up and compare growth and styling.
