Bearded since: 1983. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I had jobs for quite a while that did not allow beards. Once that changed, I grew it and have had mostly a full beard ever since. Occasionally, to satisfy my daughters, I have shaved it into a goatee. I've ridden a Harley for over twenty years and most of my friends, associates, and their wives or girlfriends are beard-friendly people. Oh yeah, that and I'm lazy! I hate shaving, just one more thing to do in the morning.

I love it. If I were not in sales, I would probably let it grow longer and bushier.
