Want to start a cycle, but should I go by age or development?
I've read a few posts, and the consensus with everyone is to wait until 20 to start your first cycle. Well, I'm 18 and look 23. I can grow a full beard, and a full chest of hair. My height has not increased in 5 years. Would I be alright to start? if not, I will have to settle for andro.

That does not mean a thing. I hope you are not just looking to justify a short cut, because there is none. You have to work hard before anabolics will do you any good. Be patient and improve your workouts, diet, learn more about how your body responds to training (and overtraining). Meanwhile, read about gear casually. You will learn more and it will be more meaningful if you are not just rushing to put together a cycle.
