I've been at it now for the grand total of one month and I'm 43... Being Army It was always encouraged to shave FAST! I'm learning the joy of taking my time. What a pleasure it is. (hey my first reply...) Oh and is it common to already have HAD, RAD, SAD, OCD etc?
I started with DE's at 29 and took the plunge into straights in December at the age of 30.
well i started shaving when i was 12...but that was with an electric razor, then i used a gillette fusion for a bit, then last year when i was 14 i started shaving with a straight razor
When I think about that title some more, I'm not sure I answered the question correctly first time around, so just to cover my bases here, I will give an alternative answer. I have never been gay to my knowledge, so therefore I have always been shaving with a straight. If there are other blokes in the bathroom they have been straight too...That is, unless some of my mates or other blokes when I was in the army are or were closet poofs, in which case I may have been in the presence of a non straight shaver at some point.
Right. Hope I've got the bases covered now. ;)

Nope im the youngest guy in here for now, i started when i was 14 because i found straight razors cool and now im just about to turn 16 and im still amazed by them and i love being a minority in the shaving world.Quote:

I started at 50 a couple of months ago. I always liked knives, but couldn't use them enough to justify my desire to sharpen them as often as I'd like to. Found out about straight shaving right here at SRP and now I can play with my blades to one degree or another every day. I'm in heaven!
Got my first straight shave (with a real straight) at 32 by an old barber just before he retired (finally at 80!). For some inexplicable reason, considering how great the shave was, I didn't start using one until I was 36.
23. and looking forward to a long lifetime of RAD! :D
P.s. anyone check out the new Harners that went up on Classic yesterday?? there's not one in the batch that i don't like, wish i could buy all of them!
Just started SR shaving at 24...
