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

Why did I grow my beard? First of all, my religion requires me to have a beard... Additionally, I spent years in the military shaving everyday. I vowed to myself I'd never shave that often again... Next thing I knew I'd go a week without shaving, then two weeks. Before I knew it, I was only shaving to define a neckline. Voilà!!! A beard...

How do I feel about my beard? In the beginning it's hard to get used to. The itchy stage was difficult for me, as well as the south Florida heat. If you can get past that, you're a real man...
