Bearded since: 2010. I am an experimental beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard, initially, to see if I could do it. I have very blond hair and facial hair and it had never grown all that well. So I decided to stop shaving for a couple months to see what would happen. Now I love how it looks and get compliments on it all the time. I have run into negative reactions, but the positive ones outweigh them by far.

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard. It keeps my face warm. It's very unique in that you don't see a beard this color very often and it has helped me re-invent my image. I hope it gets thicker and fills in more, but overall I am very happy with it.
