Bearded since: 1995. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard because it's a man mask; men look more masculine with furry faces.

How do I feel about my beard? I've always had a full beard, but this is the first year I've let it grow long. It gets more interesting the longer it gets. I also seem to be meeting more interesting people. From now on, I think I'll keep my beard long enough to remain counter-cultural.
