Turtle waxing it in a sand-spinning machine for two days? Doesn't mean you're dedicated, you just want a great result without sweating for it. My two cents on this one.
I just don't understand why people go through so much effort to learn to shave as manual as possible, and start using all kinds of (heavy) machinery at home for restoration, repairs and maintenance.
