This is pretty close for me. What really appeals is that we've taken what has typically been a daily chore and turned it into a way to connect to a simpler - and I'd say better - quality of life. I'm trying to do this other activities of daily living.

Then when you throw in the tradition and the other cool aspects of Straight shaving...fuggedaboudit!!!.....

I'll recant on my previous picking and repeat myself once again: Getting a rusty piece of junk someone else doesn't want and turning it into a high-performance shaving instrument that I use on a regular basis. Even if I buy a new one, I bond with it by maintaining its sharpness and using it. My results correspond to the effort I put into it.

I enjoy the process, but by that I mean taking the time to pamper myself a bit, with fine shaving creams and aftershaves in a variety of scents, etc. It's time to relax and reflect before a hectic morning.
