Man, it's like that episode of "Band of Brothers" I watched last week. The new guy is gone and I barely got to know his name. Good luck, The Carpenter.
If it doesn't work for you then no one is going to question your choice.
Really, is it necessary to compare the people who enjoy this self gratifying harmless hobby to a people who destroy technology out of fear and anxiety? I contend that a traditional wet shaving enthusiast participates in this hobby not out of fear of loss, but for a zest of life.
I said that in order for me to continue to shave this way I would have to be a shaving a luddite. I italicized the I for a reason.
hello to all of the members of the forum,
i am sorry to report that i have given up on traditional wet shaving. I honestly just don't see the benefit in it other than the psychological effects it may have on some people. The combination of a brush, traditional shaving cream or soap and the chrome plated razor can make for an almost aristocratic experience. However, it takes more time and concentration than modern shaving technology. When it's all said and done, i get a quicker and overall better shave with a gillette sensor excel and edge ultra-sensitive shaving gel. Of course it's all a matter of perspective and opinion, but my opinion is that it's not worth it. In order for me to continue shaving with these methods, i would need to be a shaving luddite.
Traditional wet shaving is like EVE Online
For me it is an aristocratic experience . s
I never quite grasp the psychology of the "I Quit" threads.
