Sorry back to your original thread. Yes a man needs to experiment and find what he likes but try to stop somewhere around 30 or so.

You seem to have forgotten a few zeros after the 30.

I have only two straights and the reason why I have two not one is simple, got the one and realized that I really preferred stainless steel rather than the carbon steel that I had. Needless to say the second is a stainless, and I do not intend to get anymore for at least ten years when my four year old is old enough to start doing the job himself. I would image the only thing that I would purchase now would be a strop, don't have one as yet as I am leaving that to the future once I can learn to shave with the straight first - one step at a time.

What if your kid prefers carbon steel?

You do need a strop of some sort to use before every shave, so put that on top of your short list.

As for the OP, I'd agree that two is the minimum.
