I dont understand the motive behind the question but lets take it at face value (pun intended)
I grew a beard at age 26 and took photos of it. I did so because I wanted folks to know what I looked like with a beard. I never grew one before or since. The closest I came was at age 38 my wife forced me into a 'renaissance festival ' I grew a goatee , put on an earing, black spandex and waived a sword around.
Trouble is she keep bugging me to no end to go to more.
