After a year now i am turning my hand to straight shaving and producing some pleasing close shaves. I always set aside plenty of time to perform my ritual , take it slow ,enjoy my razor,finish off with a nice splash of favourite cologne.
Upon completion of my mow and exfoliation I have noticed a strange phenomenon occuring. I am totally relaxed and destressed, unlike my state an hour earlier at the end of a bad day. My breathing is calm and steady , my heart rate a slower pace, no shakes( my hands tremble sometimes) and i feel good about life.
Does anyone else get this feeling, is shaving a type of stress management, does it release chemicals in the body to make us feel good?
