Thread: what age did you start shaving with a straight?

29 as well, nothing wrong with late bloomer's!

34. i spent way too many years with disposable cartridges, except when I was in the Army and used an electric.

2008 at age 62....Have loved every minute of it and still learning.........Thanks

at 51 y o .

Last year, aged 38.

18. A few months ago.

21, I'll be 35 next month...

45, I'm 52 now.

I started several years ago at the age of 60.

At 17 in 1973, its been a long time,but I'm glad that its still alive and I believe growing-$16 for a cartridge that lasts a week,just nuts,and my kids have bought these three and four blade things for me on fathers day,they work OK for 1 or two shaves and then you need another cartridge.
Its a good racket if your selling them.And Gillette is cute they sell DE blades,but not the razors,like I said what a racket.
At least Ive taught my sons,21 and 17 to use both DE,and straights,and they prefer them to the cartridges,and both have there own straights-just got to teach them that daddy isnt always going to sharpen them for them.
PS-Ive gotta known -what did you guys think us older guys used before these cartrages came along,and what about you electric types?
what did you think we used before electric razors (which dont work for me at all)?
