Bearded since: 2011. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
Since I became unemployed, I realized that I no longer had a reason to shave anymore. It's bittersweet but, now the challenge is to find a new job that'll accept my bearded face.

How do I feel about my beard? I feel a sense of security now. Since I decided to commit to growing a beard, I feel a lot more in tune with my self as well as a strong sense of masculinity and confidence. People look at, and treat me differently, with more respect.
