Carl V.

Bearded since: 2009.

Comments:
While I had grown several different versions of facial hair, I was always hesitant to grow a full beard because I never liked the way my mustache or cheeks grew in. But I decided to give it a shot. I stop shaving on December 24th and I am now on my 137th day in these photos.

How do I feel about my beard? I absolutely love how it looks in a profile view. I feel more confident when I am full bearded. The reviews have been mixed, but I have been really appreciative of how my wife accepted it even though she hates the mustache.
