I've used DE razors for a few years, with a very simple setup: Butterfly from Executive Shaving, Arko stick direct on my face... Then the razor decided to start losing it's plating on the handle after a year or so... So I looked to upgrade it to a SS one....
That lead me to Razor Emporium YT channel, and me buying a Rex Ambassador -- and an Outlaw... So far so good right?
But, on that channel, they also had videos about using a straight razor, so me, being curious, bought one 'shave ready' old Sheffield off eBay. That was early July... And now I got a whole *ton* of them, because well, I need to know what I *really* like don't I? Also being a tinkerer, I bought some to restore, and put them in rotation as well. And I got a couple 'customs' on order; one from Yurii, and one from Drew Dick (whose workshop is 15 minutes from me!)
Anyway, long story short, I'm now hooked to straight razors, which also lead to build up a collection of soaps obviously!
