I love it!
Do you enjoy shaving?

I wish I had more time. I really use to enjoy picking scents and matching my mood, however the speed of my life has changed drastically and now it's mostly about getting the job done.
Love/hate/love.

Until DE shaving, I used to despise shaving. Now it's something that I look forward to. Relaxing time to myself. Not cheap though!
I love having clear, smooth, and soft skin. I did not enjoy this experience while using carts or electric razors, but most certainly do with a brush and DE razor. Maybe one day I will try other products, like straights, but for the time being am in "if it ain't broke don't fix it," mode. I have enjoyed pampering myself for several years and am much more successful in that endeavor with my wet shaving routines.

Shaving is "my time" . . . I find the ritual of it meditative. I like that the focus needed for a quality shave requires that I force out thoughts of other things and focus solely on the task at hand. Less so, since I stopped using straights, but the shutting out of distractive thoughts is still part of it for me. And, when everything goes perfectly, it is a rejuvenating experience that sets me up for a great day the following morning. I truly think I would be a happier person were I able to shave on a daily basis.
Most days. Every once in a while I feel like Ughh, don't want to shave today.
I sure do now. Can't see how anyone looks forward to shaving with a cart though. I would go weeks without shaving just because I dreaded the task of shaving, and when I finally decided to shave it would just not do it. Having to take 10s of strokes on the same spot. Uhhh... I am just happy that this belongs in the past.
Yes I enjoy shaving everyday! I have shaved everyday since I was an adult (thanks Basic Training) but it has only been the last 8 years that I have come to enjoy it.
I enjoy it. I enjoy whipping up lather with a brush, I enjoy having soaps and aftershaves of various scents and I love the art and skill of using a DE.
Honestly, if it were just something I had to do, Id probably use a disposable and some canned foam because it would be a lot easier, faster and cheaper.

Ambivalent, neither love nor hate it, just the part at the start of the day between showering and dressing, too often it feels like a hindrance keeping me from getting to things i want to get to.
Shave everyday... `not ritualized, festishized, spiritualized, get it done well and roll onto breakfast.

I have always kind of liked wet shaving, but I used the same razor, brushless shave cream and aftershave every day and it just became boring. Now I enjoy it and look forward to it. This is more because of the brush and soaps than the razors, since I was an injector user for most of my time. But I do really like changing out the razors as well, especially with the vintage ones. I dabbled in electrics for a while, but came back. I have had my beard for over thirty years, so I just shave my neck. At this point in my life I really don't care if it is in fashion or not. The wife and daughter have actually never seen me without it. I did cut it back to a Van Dyke for a while, but the wife likes the full beard better. Even if it is just my neck, I really enjoy my morning shave!
Yes.
I shave even when I don’t have any plans to leave the house. I like to start my day with a shower and shave to get ready for the day. For the most part I shave every day, not to say I haven’t missed a day or 2 over the years. I really like shaving.

Yes, I shave everyday and enjoy the smells of soaps and the Aftershaves the most. Guess they call it aromatherapy. I mug lather and love getting my nose down in the mug about 5 or 6 times during my shave, then inhaling those aromas.
I look forward to and enjoy the entire ritual very much. I wore a beard for years and liked it, but now that every soyboy in the world is wearing one, I decided it had to go.

Anyone who shaves strictly because their significant other would not have it any other way?
My wife was on my case everytime i had any facial hair.

I love the feel after a great shave and the lingering scent of a good soap. I also can't stand having much more than a day's growth, so whether I enjoy it or not, the hair's coming off.
Similar to my thoughts. I shave at night though since I started “traditional” wet shaving a little over 5 years ago. Been shaving over 35 years mostly with electric razors. When I was acquiring products it was fun trying new stuff but that has faded.
Used to be a chore but now it's a fun hobby. Or an addictive hobby...
