I normally have a goatee but I decided on November 1st to try for the one-year beard, no trimming. The picture is June 30th so 8 months. So far, very few complaints from the wife.

13, my dad told me I needed to start shaving and gave me his old 2 headed electric Philishave. I only lasted for a month before it burnt out. I switched to a Trac II.

Not me. I'm actually going for the Yeard(almost 5 months), so it's not coming off. Dale

It has the patena of being vintage.

Me too Twelvefret, although I was 13 when my dad gave me a worn out electric Philishave with 2 heads and said, "here you better start using this". I think I had it less than 2 months before the motor was burnt out. Dale

My son was given this razor by his girlfriend and the only mark is a stamped 66 on the inside of the top plate. Does anyone have an idea of maker and what era? Dale

Wow, lots of great ideas from a community of fine gentlemen, thank you guys. Dale
