47 and using the B0rg queens technique of skin stretching every morning. This is where nearly 30yrs of experiance pays off ... sadley

I am 25, Been straight shaving for a little over a month and I can’t get enough of it! Good Luck with the duck tape. Just remember to rip it off like a Band-Aid.

57 here. The hips are shot, but the shaving is still a bootiful ting!!!!

49 for a little while longer,but the big HALF-CENTURY is right there.



Getting old is a PITA but the alternative sucks.

same here 57 every thing either gets the shakes or it dont work when it needs to. but put the straight in hand and it all works just fine, been with a straight about 1 1/2 years de since about 15 years old tried a bic when they first came out throwed it in the trash that was the onley time, still have my de that i had at 15, dont remember how to ues it , i only shaved about 1 or 2 a year but now i shave every day.

Looks like I got the highest number so far 58. Started with straight in barber scool in 1970, but got away from it when we stopped using regular str8's and went to disposible single edge in the str8. Quit barbering in 86. Started back in str8s about a year ago.

Sadly, at 54 time has taken it's toll on my mug as well. I agree, shaving was definitely a lot easier before my face started to resemble a Bloodhound's. What we in the UK call the 'lived in' look.

i been thinking as a knife maker i could make a chin blade something like a u gouge to get in between the folds and lines

I'm on the down hill side of 61 and have no problems shaving my ugly puss with a straight. The only thing I fear is that at some point I may get the shakes too bad to continue safely.

My only regret is that I didn't try harder 30 years ago when I first attempted to use a straight razor.

23 here and i've been at it for about 3 weeks now
