Thread: What regrets do you have from your straight razor adventure

I wish I started using straight razor earlier in my life.

I personally regret not having somebody locally to talk to about it. That would have been so helpful. But this forum is incredibly valuable!

Not starting earlier!

Initially focusing on big honking 7/8 and 8/8 blades while passing on the smaller blades.

buying my first razor from an ebay listing gift pack that "looks good" instead of a shave ready from someone on here

it probably wouldnt have cut cardboard

I regret not starting much earlier than my mid-50's.

I regret not having more money, to buy more things that I don't need, but that I do need.

I regret not keeping all the Harley's I've had ever the last 45 years, oh wrong thread!

Uh regret buying hones. Tc

I regret not having started 15 years ago when all the good choppers were just cheeeaaaaapppp!!!! and also regret all the razors i bought in my first few months.. in ebay .... i should have known better.... i should have listened the folks in the SRP char in IRC...

I would say after more than a year since started on SRs.. and a few thousands of dollars later, i regret starting because of the impact to my pocket... but i really don't.. yet... :P
