Because it's a nifty trick, it feels good, and it's entertaining and relaxing.

During the week when I'm in a hurry, I shave in the shower WTG only with a multi blade disposable. It takes about 30 seconds, and it is the ONLY place that I can shave quickly and not get razor burn. In fact, I cannot shave ATG with anything and not have razorburn around my mouth and under my neck - no matter what, electric or not.

But on the weekends, I can go to *my* bathroom, strop my razor, take my time and enjoy the process. There are so many things we have to do every day just to be fit to go to work or be in public, it is sometimes nice to take the routine things that can be done faster elsewhere and make them part of the things you enjoy in the day instead of just what you have to do.

That and getting old razors (I have no new ones), old hones, etc. is a nice link to a period of time when it seemed that people and skill were the links in the chain that took raw materials and put a finished product in the consumer's hands. It's such a shame to see all of that go to whatever is faster and cheaper and creates a product where the main goal seems to be a minimum % of the good's price being the production of the good itself.
