Started mine in 1980 and my cheeks haven't seen the sun since. :o  Well my chin certainly hasn't anyway.  I'd be afraid to see what I'd look like without it.

beards always get to itchy for me after a couple of weeks.
Besides I am not allowed to have one at work because I may have to wear a respirator sometime. Although it has been a few years since I have had to.
We had a guy working here at one time who had never shaved his Moustache in his life and he was in his forties.
It hung below his belt. He always kept it rolled up and secured with hairspray. He worked in our central toolroom the running joke was that while testing a drill someday he would get it all wrapped up. Probably a scary thought for him.
I am debating buying one of these beardo hats though. Just so I fit in with you guys.

I can't grow facial hair if my life depended on it. I did however start growing my hair out august 1st for the hardwater season. I always get a buzz cut come spring and rock long hair in the winter. I might let it go this spring until it gets long enough to donate to locks of love.
I think for locks of love it has to be 14 inches long, have done that a couple of times myself.

My esteemed colleagues,

It would seen to me..the question should be...why would anyone want to shave?

I have not shaved in 13 years...and I never will!

Cheers,

Ice Beard

Have kept fur on my face every winter since I could, sometimes unkempt and grizzly other times closer and neat.  It is much better under a mask though with it closer to the face IMO
I have a BS in Narrative Fishing History.

Understood...I would not go into an interview with a beard either.  However, I would stop sharing as soon as I got the job.

Awesome!

You know...this could make an interesting television show.  Kinda along the lines as Duck Dynasty....we could have show called American Ice Beards!

Finally a reality show about ice fishing, beards, and Americans.

I grow one every year in the winter since the late 60's or early 70's.  I start around my birthday in late August and shave sometime in the spring.  Some years I trim it, some years I don't.  This year I think Ill let it go.  Might keep it and let it go for a few years like those guys on the Duck Dynisty...

 I have not shaved since getting out of the service back in 82. While it does get bushy it never has grown long (maybe because the stuff on top is falling out faster than it grows :%$#!:)  So for the most part anymore I keep it trimmed up + fairly short
