Me and a Norwegian friend who is coming to visit in October are having a bit of a beard growing competition. Of course I'll probably lose but I tried. We plan to drink a lot since I will have just turned 21 when they are supposed to get here.

Still a rookie.

It'll be 34 years this November 1st.

I've known my wife nearly 25 years and have been married to her for the last 18 years. She has never seen my face....

I am 67 years, and put one on my face when I was 25. In 1981 I cut it off about a month before I got married. My bride-to-be only said, "Think ya' better grow it back."

Been in place ever since.

Oh, I've had facial hair of various configurations since I was 15, I just went to the full beard since the hair on top of my head decided to not participate anymore. A long goatee works sometimes as long as there isn't a long full beard in the room, but it trumps a half-assed hipster beard any day of the week.
