Bearded since: 1993. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard because I forgot my shaving kit at home during a break from college. I decided to give growing a beard a try. And it looked good, so I kept it.

Recently in a beard-trimming tragedy (heh), I shaved my face for the first time in years. So now I'm beginning again to grow the beard.

How do I feel about my beard? I like my beard. I think it gives me more of a jawline and a better-defined chin than I would have otherwise-- and it attracts people I want to attract. :)
