Bearded since: 2008. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

Comments:
I've always liked beards, but was always told I was too young for it before. Now I'm thirty, it finally suits me. I think on the right man, they're very becoming and really do suit some people more than others.

I like the way I look with mine -- like it's another piece of the jigsaw.

How do I feel about my beard? I like my beard and found this site while looking for grooming tips. I like the way it naturally grows and only trim it a little -- topiary rather than butchery.

I get more compliments than I do criticism, which is good as I expected it to be the other way around. I find people taking me a little more seriously now. I'm sure a good sociologist would be able to tell you why!

And I don't have lamb chops usually... that photo was just experimentation!
