Bearded since: 2012. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard for traveling to Asian winter. I have little hair on my head. So the extra warmth on my face was required. I was working on the best ice beard while snowboarding in Niseko, Japan.

How do I feel about my beard? I grew up disappointed about having a red beard. My hair is brown, but just at the ears the facial hair turns bright red. In my later teens I would dye it black. It took me many years to embrace the red beard. I love it now.
