Bearded since: 2007. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I had always wanted to grow a beard. But every time I tried, it itched so badly, I had to shave it. Well, after about five or six times of trying to grow one, the itch finally went away. I love the look of a well-kept beard. It's masculine. Some of my friends don't care for the beard, but generally, I have found that the reception has been mostly positive.

How do I feel about my beard? I love it. I love the look. I love the feel. It embodies masculinity and makes me feel a lot more self-confident than without any facial hair.
