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

Comments:
I'd worn a goatee since I was about twenty years old, mostly because I always thought I had a weak chin. At the age of twenty-eight, I decided to grow a full beard. Initially it was an experiment. But over time I grew to love it. Now, I can't imagine myself without it.

How do I feel about my beard? It's a part of my face, as important as my nose or eyes.
