Is straight razor saving for me?

Hey guys,

I'm 23 yrs old and I became interested in straight razors because I like the tradition and art of shaving "the old fashion" way. I would lie if I didn't disclose that I also want to do it because I think it is "bad ass".

I already started the process of putting my shaving stuff together, but now I wonder if straight razor shaving is for me at all.

I don't think I grow enough facial hair yet. I get a 5 o'clock shadow -well more like 8 o'clock haha- that is most prominent in the goatee area (lip brow /chin) and my neck. I also have a very soft and sensitive facial skin.

I read that straight shaving is very useful for those who get ingrown hair and razor burn... but fortunately I don't get any of those.

Should I wait until I grow older, hence growing more facial hair, or is it OK to start from now?

I have to wonder because it is big investment -at least in my book- of about $200 to $400 bucks.

Thanks,
