Bearded since: 1999. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I first grew a beard in my early twenties and liked the way it looked. I have had some form of facial hair most of my adult life.

How do I feel about my beard? I like the way I look and feel with a beard. The few brief times I have shaved it off, I have always regretted it and have grown it back soon after. The older I get, the more I like the color and texture. I have actually had a few people ask if I ever considered dying my hair and beard. I say that I have earned all my gray. I enjoy being an older guy and I wouldn't want to be young again for anything.
