Not to be confused with the tool known as a straightedge, or the song the subculture takes its name from, Straight Edge. Straight edge (sometimes abbreviated sXe or signified XXX or X) is a subculture of hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs, in reaction to the excesses of punk subculture.
The years between 1800 and 1900 have been coined the âGolden Eraâ of the straight edge razor. Men went to barbers to have their mustaches and beards carefully trimmed. Interchangeable blade-razor sets and âseven-dayâ sets were popular in the 1800s. But it wasnât until 1901 that King C. Gillette fundamentally transformed shaving with the invention of the first safety razor, which was granted a patent on November 15th, 1904.
