Tell us about your beard timeline. How long have you been growing it. Any special beard stories: 

I am Sikh, so I've had a beard since puberty. The only time I used to shave (after getting my hair cut), was when I was in Flight school. I have maintained a beard since I got out and don't plan on letting it go.  My mother hates it when I let my beard grow and prefers me clean shaven, but I end up looking like a 12-year-old when I don't shave.

Favourite beard products...

My favourite beard products are by The Man Company—Argan & Geranium Beard Oil and Wash.

Are guys into beard? Does it help or hurt your chances of getting laid?  

Yes it does! Not sure if you know this, but gay men dig guys with beards—it instantly makes them hot. (laughs) 

How do you maintain your beard? Tell us your routine. 

I like to trim it at least once a week to get rid of the (untidy) extra hair. I use a beard wash and oil once a day, twice if time allows me. To finish it off, I use a beard comb to make things even.

What are your beard dos and don’ts? 

Don't—Grow a beard because everyone's doing it, know what suits you—it could be a stubble for  all you know. Experiment before you end up making a total ass of yourself. Do—Maintain it, wash it and trust the fact that it makes you a whole lot sexier.

Has it changed your sense of style? Do you dress differently to fit your beard? 

Yes actually. I feel like it makes me a look a bit more masculine, a bit more rugged. My sexual proclivities are also more take-charge and makes me want to wear everything that oozes masculinity.
