The answer would be from being born but shaving it off has contributed to 33 years with my wife. Beyond my wife thinking they only look good on some people, she's grossed/wigged out by the hygiene aspects, skin oil, and especially people who run their fingers through their beard and then elsewhere.
The family loves this 1977 pic. I started to grow a beard when my childhood pal and I hitchhiked from upper midwest to the west for adventure and seeing the Grateful Dead.
