Thread: Straight Shaving, Part of a Larger Movement?

I just do it to get funny looks from friends and family.

Really, I take great pleasure in finding the sublime in the mundane. Shaving. Before I started turning away from "conventional" modern shaving, what could be more mundane? Then, through the DE, and the scents, and the time spent to do a job well, it became fun and enjkoyable. Then, with a straight, and honing it myself, and using a quality tool that should last for many more generations, it became an art. Is this too high-faluten? To grandiose for what is, really, just a morning grooming task? Perhaps. But it is MINE. I OWN IT. And as MY time, and MY task, I am free to enjoy it as much as I possibly can. And I do.
