Thanked: 8Started shaving around 14 with a Mach 3, I am now 21. I started with a strait about two years ago, the thing was dull as can be, but I perservired through the cuts. I have tried the Fushion but still think the Mach 3 is the best disposable because the blades are spaced nicely apart so they dont clog. I am currently using a DE Gillette Adjustable (which so far is like a cheese grater on my neck) while I referbish my straight.

I watched a woman last week pick up two razors she wanted to buy for her husband and she yells "Hey Marge, do I get the one with the engine?"

I'm 23. I started shaving with cheap BIC-type disposables, and of course I loathed the time I spent shaving every day. A year or so back, my father became a Gillette Fusion proselyte - you know, the battery-powered razor/clitoral stimulator - and tried to get me on the bandwagon. The shave was good enough to ensure that I would never again be satisfied with non-swiveling, non-vibrating, only-double-bladed safety razors, but the price was unsustainable (about $25/fortnight, I seem to recall). I was also still high on my first reading of Walden some months prior (digression: "high," yes, but if you read that book right, you never come down). Once I began thinking seriously about the ecology and Economy of shaving, it became clear that disposable razors are simply not a real solution to the "problem" of beards.
After researching my options, it was obvious that there was only one real alternative. Everything I read said that straights beat all other methods, by all measures but convenience and learning curve. I didn't consider that a compromise, since I'm always eager not only to learn something new, but to learn how to slow down and do it right.

Thanked: 23Well
I'm twenty four, I started with my grandfather's gillette tech and his massive supply of razor blades. He'd buy them by the case when they were on sale. :P
On occasion I've used Bic disposables, just for traveling and stuff. More or less, though, it was just the DE from about 14 or so until I got my first straight. Beleive it or not, I still have some unused razor blades bought in the 80s by my grandfather. That's right, I got nearly ten years out of his supply of blades. :P
