Hi all,

I've lived in Pittsburgh, PA for my entire life (40 years).

Art, you dog you, i'm not going to go there 8). As for the trip, its only an idea at this point, so there's no timeline to speak of. I'll see how things progress over the year.
Best,

No, I was a teenager then and I just had a mustache...although my turkish friends had full beards at 16!!
My dad and I were just using gillette Foamy. Yeah, not great, but was working well because of the soft water, perfect weather and organic foods. All these helped (good complexion, great skin, hey we weren't even using SPF, moisturizers... just soap, foam and go!)

Rafik, talking about a beard, I had one at the age of 25, but I didn't like it at all. It took me exactly 10 days to grow it, but I'm into the clean-shaven look. I think I used canned foam a grand total of 6 times in my whole life, and I'm 51, going on 52 in May.

I was born and grew up (physically not mentally) in the north east of England - near Newcastle, home of the beer. Fell in love with an American girl, got married and moved to the US of A. I've been a US citizen for a few years now. We lived in Colorado for 12 years, and then Tampa, Florida the last 9 months. The desert to the gulf, no difference at all, really ;o).
Unfortunately for my wife, the next trip back to the old country will have to incorporate trips to all those old school shaving places that begin with T a lot. Well, we visited the museums last time...

Hmm, I wouldn't say I get the shadow at 2:00. Ur beard grows faster than mine, especially considering the fact that u are a wetshaver (which means closer shaves)

Rafik, perhaps you're right, I have one of the heaviest, fastest-growing beard of anyone I know, and I don't know who or where I get it from. My dad's beard is just normal, neither of my grandfathers had such rough beards, so I must be part ape! Yet, when I finish shaving, my skin's very smooth. I do get very close shaves, thank God. Long live us wetshavers!

Born in Calgary, Canada; moved to Glasgow, Scotland when I was a toddler and am still here.

Mom is in Tucson, Az. which is really nice.
Aunt is in Roanoke, Virginia which was lovely.
They're both originally from up-state New York (Troy) which I really enjoyed visiting when I was younger.
