Bearded since: 1990. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard at first because I was tired of people saying my twin and I looked alike. Kind of goes without saying, yet people insisted on pointing it out. But then it got to the point where I just wasn't me without it.

How do I feel about my beard? It's part of me, part of may face and my personality. Getting rid of it would be like getting rid of any other part of my face. You might as well cut off my nose.
