Bearded since: March 2007. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard as a sign of independence from the typical professional work world, a sign of strength.

How do I feel about my beard?
The hair on my face
What a wonderful place.
My beard is my strength.
I feel stronger the longer the length.
I forgot what I look like shaven and clean.
My beard is so fly, from space it can be seen.
Don’t touch a hair on my chinny chin chin
My beard is so thick I can’t find my skin.
Facial hair is the sign of wisdom and virility
And I’ll stay loyal to my beard to the best of my ability.
Beards in religions, beards in sports
Beards come in all shapes, sizes, and sorts.
So when people say “Why don’t you shave?”
I say “Didn’t you know a real man’s beard never goes away!”
