Bearded since: 2013. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
Why did I grow my beard? Being a young bloke, I thought I would try something different. So I decided to let it grow. After a couple of months, I realized that I had a hole in my heart that facial hair could only fill and quickly fell in love with the beard life! I did not choose the beard life. Tthe beard life chose me.

How do I feel about my beard? It makes me feel ashamed when I look at old photos of me clean shaven. I guess you could say a man has a special attachment to his beard the same way a mother has for her children.
