Bearded since: 1972. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I wanted to grow a beard at sixteen. I was able to, but school and my after-school job would not allow it. When I graduated, I let my beard grow and, with the exception of a few weeks, I have been bearded since.

How do I feel about my beard? It's part of me. No one would know me without it.
