You missed the "a quick and dirty [wet] shave is just as good as an electric one" part, didn't you. In both cases I'm partly scratchy by noon and fully scratchy come evening. A good wet shave will be about as good in the evening as a quick or electric one is once I get to work.

For most people, all it will become is a lesson in why they preferred the original path of convenience in the first place.

If the convenient path gives you a result you're happy with then take it. There's a reason I put "personal satisfaction" as a step after "for your lover".

I don't even shave that often. But when I do, I do it properly. I also don't make Ragout Bolognese that often but when I do, I do it properly. If that offends you then I can't help you, either.

A rare sighting of a gentleman in the wild!

Personally, I will start this when I retire. Right now, I do go to a straight razor shave once a month. Just because it's nice. Personal care.

I didn't miss it, I just didn't feel it was worth it to point out how obviously wrong it was.

Sure they might give equivalent results, but one is significantly faster, easier, and less hassle than the other.

I've done both kinds of shave and there's no arguing that a wet shave gives the superior results...but pretending that it's not a lot more fuss and effort is just ridiculous.
