Bearded since: 1978. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I have never shaved my top lip. Started growing a mustache when I started getting facial hair. Then in a few years was able to grow a goatee. I have shaved the goatee off one time for couple years..but growing a beard is a very manly thing to do.

How do I feel about my beard? I'm very happy with my beard. It's part of me. I have had it so long I wouldn't look right without it. I have decided to grow my goatee long. I have always had it short. I have to wear an eye patch due to an injury now. So I think a long goatee will look very well with the eye patch. I get a lot of looks with the eye patch. So I'm pretty sure to get a lot more with a long goatee. So yes, I love my beard.
