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

Comments:
My father always had a beard while I was growing up, so I'm a long time admirer. However, I couldn't grow a full beard until my mid-20s. Beards tend to bring out a man's distinctive features, and my red beard in particular gets many positive comments.

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard and I cannot foresee a time when I don't have some type of facial hair. Sometimes I vacillate between a shorter or a longer length, but it's here to stay!
