There's more to be had than a superior shave here however. For 20 minutes, I can focus my mind on executing a singular (grooming) task to the best of my ability while allowing everything else in my life to fall away completely. This meditative / zen aspect works wonders on mood and outlook. Sure, I'm an outlier and do practically treat straight shaving as a sport; shaving gets my adrenaline / excitement up akin to the outdoor sports I also enjoy (also meditative).
Unfortunately, all most victims know about shaving today is that it's the complete opposite of 20 minutes of zen. It's 5-10 minutes of sheer torture or an concentrated episode of disdain at best.
How do you get them to see wet shaving from our perspective? That's the trick. So much for progress; convince them primitive is best in this particular case.
Good luck!
