Bearded since: 1977, but it was not until mid-1978 that it became permanent. It has always been a full beard, with occasional excursions into the goatee look. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard originally because I felt I looked like a teenager and I wanted to look older. At the time it was not very full, but now it has filled out. Unfortunately, it has also started to turn grey in the last year or two.

How do I feel about my beard? Well, after 27 years of continuous wear, I would feel naked without it! I am quite happy to shave my head completely bald, but I hate being without my beard!
