Bearded since: 1972. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

Comments:
Winter 1972, sophomore student, East Texas: My high school's dress code called for no facial hair during the semester. Christmas break was just that, a break from SHAVING. At one week it looked pretty good to me. At end of second week, all my male buds were jealous and my female friends liked it very much. I liked it totally.

I like it, but has become mostly white. That is still okay if you keep a full beard. But the occasional weekend stubble or camping out, etc. gives me more of a homeless look than that Don Johnson appeal, which I had 15 years before his first acting class.
