Bearded since: 2009. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard for the first time in August this year, as I became self-employed. Which meant for the first time, I could get away from hearing stupid questions like, "Are you trying to grow a beard?" and, "do you know your beard has ginger in it?".

How do I feel about my beard? I like not having to shave everyday. It feels more natural, but I wish my cheeks had more growth. Although, I'm happy enough with what I've got. I give my beard and the top of my head a number four with hair clippers, and shave the sides with a number 3. However, I hope to grow a fuller beard when the cold weather comes.
