There are some that start for one of these reasons, and migrate to another, but eventually you either attain the goal you set out to achieve in this hobby, or you don't and you move on... After almost 30 years of straight razor shaving I think I am pretty close


I wish you luck in attaining yours...
You missed one reason . Guys like me that shave with a straight razor because we just plain love doing it . When I decided to try the straight razor , I thought I would only shave with it once in a while , and use my mach 3 most of the time . After the first shave I was hooked .At first , the challenge of learning to use the straight razor kept me shaving with it . And once I started getting good shaves , I didn't want to shave with anything else .
