Haven't used an electric for over twenty years, and even then I didn't really enjoy it. Just walked around looking like the unkempt youth that I was - inside and out! I suppose my main reason for change, and this just at the start of the year, is partly to do with an appreciation of taking my time over certain things. Willing to put the effort into learning something that you can't do overnight. A sense of achievement and relaxation in the process. I have also got back into fountain pens and thoroughly enjoy the variety of choice and decisions I can take to suit mood and occasion. Nib sizes, ink etc. etc. I guess that a few people here are the same and maybe there is room for a 'Young Fogey' section to cater for this . This is all about relaxation for me - suffice to say I am thoroughly enjoying it and that's even at the stage where my shave quite often resembles a badgers arse! At least it smells nicer!!

cheers
