Thread: What age were ye when ye first used a straight.

I started straight razor shaving about a week ago, so 27.

I started at 32 - that's 5 years ago now

40 when I started. I'm still 40 it took about 2 months before I got a good shave,4 to get an almost bbs shave.before I started sr shaving I rarely even shaved, maybe once or twice a month.

32 when i'll start. 31 now. Still getting used to the DE

I was 28 I think. Now I'm 39.

I started 3-4 months ago at the age of 40. Haven't touched my DE for the last 2 months. I could have started in my late teens but my neighborhood barber, whom I knew since the age of 7 in Greece, refused to teach my how to shave with a straight because he was worried I would butcher myself. His little barber shop looked like the one Mastro Livi shoots the shaving videos. Just one chair. Mr. Thrasos passed away few years ago, he was in his eighties. I wish I could see him this summer when we go to Greece and chat about shaving and straights.

54. I'm 61 so I have been doing it 7 years.

51 been using straight for three years .

50 - 2 months ago

Nearly 50yrs ago. Grandpa used straights and taught me. Tried the newer razors over the years and found the shaves slower and not as satisfying.
