I started at Christmas. I'm thirty six and had been DE shaving for nearly three years before that.

I started at 40.

Same here started at 40. Been wet shaving all my life but went onto the multiblade rubish and started to get ingrowing hairs. Had a few minor opps to get some out and thought that there must be a better way of shaving and started with straights.

Started at 41 having been DE shaving exclusively for 18 months before that.

A straight razor. A shorter way of writing it.

A str8 that's turned cruel, or at least r-tless.

B*gger - I didn't know you were all so young! I was going to tell you when I saw the thread starter, but after reading the posts I'm not going to. Humph!

Wow, I must make the most of these kind of comments about my age, as it won't be too long before they dry up altogether.

Well write it in English then, not text talk or what ever you call it.

Aww, go on Neil. You're amongst fiends.

First time round I was about twenty. This time, 43.
