Ingratiating yourself as a regular was a time-consuming (and capital-consuming) process. How consuming depends on the place and your appearance. A retired old man could go to a golf course daily without provoking negative judgment. A young man could go to a club daily and only provoke mildly negative judgment.
Edward wasn't either, but he knew he was old enough that going to a club daily looked like a midlife crisis. Not exactly the vibe he was hoping for.

With that being said, Edward's rapier stayed in his car. Other than his clothing, all he carried was his smartphone and a wallet with the usual of credit cards and two of each denomination of cash.
