Bearded since: 2000. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard because it just felt right. I feel uncomfortable and less confident without one.

How do I feel about my beard? It is part of who I am and I feel naked without it. I have removed it before for jobs and social occasions where it isnt deemed suitiable (I used to work in a bank) and it just felt wrong. When my boss at the time tried to force me to remove it, I refused and eventually left the job due to pressure. It was a good thing. Beards are the way forward and I dont know how to be without it.
