It helps me sleep. Good smells and a meditative routine help get my overactive night owl brain to shut up.

I typically use Lavender scented soap and aftershave and balm for shaving at night. I have read many times that Lavender is a natural sedative aroma and helps with relaxation and calming nerves. So when I shave at night, I always try to use the Lavender. It seems to work for relaxation, whether it is psychological or physiological. Not sure which it is, but it works for me.

And you are correct. Shaving at night is a very nice thing to do for SWMBO.
