Hmmm... do I win? Sixty two and change here. Not too many problems with wrinkles if I tilt my head way back, puff out my cheeks, and grab a sideburn and tug real hard. Oh, and I use a dull razor that squeegees off the lather so it looks like I got a good shave. I can fool the mirror most days, particularly if I stand a few steps back. :rolleyes:
Actually, I've honed away on a couple of razors and now am approaching the touch stone test of sharpness, yup, a baby's cheek. :y

I'm 58, and have a theory that the older I get, the tougher the whiskers themselves get. I used to be able to get a smooth shave, although with razor burn, from a Mach 3. No longer. It simply does not work like it used to. The straight razor or a beard are my only options now.

I'm 22, been using a straight for 7 months now and haven't looked back.
I actually just recently gave all these fusion replacement cartridges I had under the sink to my younger brother.
When I gave them to him he asked what they were for and I replied "to replace the blades when they get dull." To which he asked: "You're supposed to replace the blades?!?" :gaah:
Turns out he's been using the same fusion blade for the last 3 years :eek:!!!!!!

Young buck, here. 21 years old, married, 3 beautiful girls...somedays I feel much much older. Been shaving for only a couple months, but fallen in love with it. My wife doesn't like me spending 30 minutes in the bathroom to shave, but has grown accustom to it, I suppose. I'm looking forward to using straights as long as the Good Lord allows my hand to stay steady. Shaved with a gilette fusion for 3 years, and disposable blades before that. It's sad, really. You learn to live with a bad shave and razor burn when you don't know there's anything better out there. Sometime ignorance isn't bliss.

I am 24 and have used the str8 since last November, since I first touched it I have been using it exclusively, no more disposables here.
I am not too wrinkly yet :P so it is hard to have any opinion on that matter, but I guess they come so slow that you get used to it on your way to wrinkliness
