Bearded since: 1999. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Why did I grow my beard? My family cannot grow beards. I had some recessive gene or I'm the milkman's son. HAHAHA. I have always enjoyed beards.. always had one and in a fit of madness I shaved it off and my own mother told me to grow it back... She said I just wasn't myself without it. I would say it has become part of who I am. :)

How do I feel about my beard? Accomplished that I have one, yet it is very much a part of me. There are no thoughts of shaving. I have my trimming routines down. It is almost involuntary. To some I would say you cannot ask how you feel about your beard. It has become part of who you are and it just "IS".
