Clint Warren's Beard Bio:

  

Your Name: Clint Warren

Age of Beard: 8 years with yearly trim

Style: The unkempt philosopher

 

Why did you grow a Beard? 

- Honestly, I decided shaving was not for me. I don’t care what people think of my looks… so why put effort into grooming?

Did you ever want to grow a Beard before you were old enough?

- Yes. I knew from an early age that I would be fully bearded… or die trying.

If so, was there any influences to that decision?

- I always liked early psychologists like Pavlov and philosophers like William James and Socrates. 

What’s your favorite Beard Quote?

- Can’t recall a quote… but there was a FB page once that claimed that growing a beard was more impressive than growing a baby inside a womb! That was funny.

Does your Beard have a nickname. If so, what is it, and how did you get it?

- Nope. Sorry.

What first motivated you to grow a Beard?

- Lack of motivation… to shave.

Do you recommend other men to grow Beards?

- Bottom line… there is a secret that bearded men know about that others don’t… I could get in trouble for telling… but here goes. It’s called beard merit. Straight dudes will buy you beers at bars… you miraculously get backstage at concerts… bosses adore you.  A great beard is like a key to the universe.

If you have a spouse/partner; how do they feel about your choice of facial hair?

- My girlfriend loves it. She didn’t early on… but she recognizes the Sampson-like power it gives me and she has become content in basking in its mighty shadow.

How long have you been growing Beards?

- Sported goatee as a teen… sans mustache. I would shave my upper lip and under my burns with shaving cream and razor. I got tired of that masochistic slavery.

What do you like most about your Beard?

- Beard merit for sure… seriously. And once you become a beard muse there is no end to the adoration one receives. A beard muse has the power to awaken ‘the urge’ inside any young gent that sets eyes upon his majestic overgrowth.

How do you deal with comments from friends/family/coworkers,etc?

- I have been called Jewish, Amish, Terrorist by strangers… people who actually know me just say how much they envy me… not with words… but with the whole of their being.

Do you Idolize someone's Beard? (Famous or Not.) If so, who and why?

- William James, farther of experimental psychology and popularizer of pragmatism, sported a mean beard. That dude just looks like a man… like if you compared a picture of him with any other dude you could instantly tell who the boss was. Like if he were ever disappointed in you… you would be crushed and cry like a baby.
