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

60, 2 years ago. Came back to wet shaving after 3-4 years of disposable razor use. Picked up that bad habit when the grocery store quit carrying Schick injector blades. I had a roommate back in the late 70's who wore a beard but shaved his neck with a straight. Wish I had picked it up back then.

Late 20's early 30's. Put it down for 10 years then went back to straights. I am now 68.

I don't remember if it was 20 or 22 lifetimes ago but I was pretty young. Now was it during the sacking of Rome or when Cleopatra and me....

53.
Last year.

About 60 iirc.

First started about 1984, so I was 35. I lasted for a month or two and gave it up for the 'good news' ........ Gillette Good News that is. Continued to collect straights off and on until 2006 when I decided to sell the 20 or so I still had. Came back to it in 2007 @ 58 years old. Been at it ever since.

32 or 33, I'm thinking 32, bout 6 years ago, but I just started back after a 2 year break.

A lot of you guys are making me feel like a novice, like you've all got a leg up on me. ba dum, psh!

24, 13 years ago.

I am 38 now, and i first used a straight a few months after my forum join date

I started at the grand old age of 31ish - 6 years ago.
