Casey: today’s beard, 2017/01/12

Name: Casey.
Occupation: Civilian Contractor.

About Casey’s beard:

Why did I grow my beard? I grew my beard because I had to shave daily while I was active duty, and because I’ve got some great beard-growing genes!

How long have I been bearded? I shaved clean for the last time October 13, 2013. Since then I get the occasional trim to nip the split ends off and maintain a healthy, happy beard.

How do I like being bearded? I love being bearded. Everyone thinks it’s a fad or a phase — men have been bearded for centuries. I don’t have a beard to be “cool”… I have a beard because I’m a man and I grow a damn fine one. Plus, the ladies love it, which is a fantastic side effect!

Casey’s got an amazing long, cool beard!
