Bearded since: 2011. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I've grown a beard on and off since I was fifteen. I was actually able to grow something semi-respectable at that age. So I became rather popular with my peers.

This beard I've been growing for about a year and a half as an upgrade from a goatee. Loving it so far and looking forward to seeing it at its second birthday.

How do I feel about my beard? I feel it makes me more confident, and more manly. It adds character and it's a brilliant talking point.
