Is it not true that tool making is the very thing that separates man from beast?
If not making tools, then maintaining and using those tools with the utmost skill is the height of humanity.
No, you are not a pathological beast, you are an exemplary specimen of humanity by your demonstration of knowledge, taste, and skill.
And surely to the extent that a man can master the manly art of shaving, he is also most certainly able to care for his woman as she so well deserves. Surely the keen ability to sense the delicate state of a razors edge during honing, and the ability to give it just the touch it needs is a subtle art that every woman longs to have in a man.
Yes. Knowledge without technique, after all, is impotent, while technique without knowledge is blind--to put it nicely.
The man who is knowledgeable, able to apply that knowledge to technique, and wield deadly implements like straight razors to deliver such a subtle craft as a clean BBS shave . . . well, I protest the suggestion this is a disorder in any way.
If our women do not truly know we are not brutes, then verily they are trailer trash.
Not that there is anything wrong with trailers. Only the trash.
Humbly yours . . .
