I used to shave or sculpt my beard constantly.  When the weather warmed up and the sun came back out, I would often shave down to a goatee simply because I felt like a fresh start to a new season.

Now that I'm trying to grow it out however, the only changes I look forward to are my beard getting bigger and longer. 

 

Opposable thumbs are overrated...beards set us apart from the other animals.

For me, growing a beard isn't hiding my face, shaving is hiding my beard.

How can a man know himself if he's never even seen himself?
