i use a straight to keep my sideburns gone, i hate sideburns, and now i cut a whopping 10 or 12 stray hairs on my chin and some fuzz on my upper lip, i just enjoy the thought of using a old razor no matter how little hair i have to use it one. btw im 5'6 and in 10th grade, i just like keeping my face clear of the little hair i do have, (thats the only part of me i can keep clean for more than an hr,farm work keeps you dirty lol.

Okay, geezer report. I started shaving with a straight in my sixty-third year, though I dabbled a few times a couple of years before. Learned to shave with a Gillette DE when I was twelve or thirteen and returned to DEs about seven years ago. I wouldnt' go back to the cartridge world for nothin'!

Hey Bruce, I used to live in Olathe.
I think it's great that guys in their sixties and beyond are trying something new. I hope to still be learning and growing and trying new (to me) things in my sixties and beyond. NOT that a person can't learn and grow in their sixties, but I know so many who choose not to.
Peace,

I'm 49 about to go on 50 and just took up straight razor shaving about 2 months ago after recieving a couple of inherited straight razors my uncle used to have. Now I have about 10 razors, 3 strops ( still learning not to nick them which I do more than my face...LOL), and a set of honeing blocks. I love using my straights and my face loves it too! Glad I found this wonderful forum!

Started shaving regularly with a straight at age 57 and loving every minute of it. It's never too late to start.

Started 2 weeks ago, at 26...planning to get a new straight tommorrow, as well as a coticule hone, and some soaps. Yeah, RAD is setting in... As someone else at BnB said: "isn't it great saving all that money going away from expensive Mach 3s?"
Ah well, this is more of a hobby and a pleasure than is dragging a multibladed monstrosity across my face...
