Started last month, age 30
It's been in my mind for about 10 years though, but initially I don't know why I'd thought only certified barbers could purchase and use straight razors.

I am curious as to how many members we have here that are old enough to say that when they were old enough to have to begin shaving, they did so with a straight, mainly because that was about the only razor available at the time or just didn't have the extra money to buy a "new fangled" DE razor.
I tip my hat to the young guns we have here that choose the old school way of shaving. What a great new way to impress the girls!

Was 31yo when I started shaving with a straight. I was getting married that summer and I figured I needed to grow up.

I was 38 when I finally got to it. Wondered about it for years before that and if it wasn't for this place I don't know what I'd be doing right now, but I almost certainly wouldn't be shaving with a straight razor.

I started when I was 21. Then promptly gave up. It was ten years later that I decided to start again. This time it has stuck.

So you decided to get into a hobby with which guys can spend thousands of dollars on toys?

As the saying goes, men don't grow up. The toys just get more expensive.
