Bearded since: 1997. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I started growing my beard basically because I didn't like the general look of my smooth face, but I have always liked any kind of facial hair also on other persons. My grandfathers used to wear a beard and so did my father and my uncles, each one in a typical way that best fit their faces. I started with a simple goatee with no mustache, and experimented with an untrimmed long beard, but finally chose a trimmed full beard: usually with the mustache longer than the rest of the beard. Do you think it fits me well?

How do I feel about my beard? I am happy about my beard because it always gains me some appreciation from people I meet for the first time, who usually say: "Wow, nice beard!".
