Bearded since: 1996. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
Shaving bothered my skin a bit, so I just let it grow. Then I realized I could grow a pretty good beard (Thanks, Gramps!).

How do I feel about my beard? Love my beard. Don't think I'd ever shave it. Did it once and felt naked. I let it start growing back the very next day. It's become a big part of me. I was surprised that having a well-groomed beard is actually more work than simply shaving when it's well taken care of.
