I agree with the above responses. But let's remember the curse of COVID and the resulting restrictions and inconveniences also psychologically affect some persons. Shavers are not exempt.
I grew up in the American Southwest. I'm not only used to bright sunny days and sunshine but I love it (even if I tend to avoid tanning as an adult due to my fair skin burning easily). My sister used to joke that we're solar powered.Many people are negatively affected by the loss of light associated with the changing of the seasons. It often leads to a loss of motivation and moodiness. I have several relatives that suffer from a form of this known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) that they treat with light therapy.
I have that in reverse. The shorter days and early winter darkness encourage me. When you live in a place where 8-9 months of the year are hot with sticky yellow sunlight, any change is welcome. (Well, aside from floods and hurricanes.)Many people are negatively affected by the loss of light associated with the changing of the seasons. It often leads to a loss of motivation and moodiness.

I keep one of my old electric razors around for days like that! I can clean up a bit without going through the whole routine. Usually, it cheers me up even if the results are not as good.I find myself feeling less motivated to shave as the colder weather approaches in addition to taking more Working From Home (WFH) days. I go outside with the family and wind kicks in and I am wondering, why did I shave today (ha ha). Or maybe its just me getting more lazier because there is barely any sunlight out during the upcoming winter days.
Anyone else finding themselves in this situation?
This is exactly what we need. If you ran for public office I would vote for you.And what good does it do me to have it broad daylight at 7 AM? What am I going to do at 7 AM? Play 9 holes of golf? Let it be freakin' DARK at 7 AM.
The pro standard time people come up with new excuses all the time. I remember when they said it was so the kids didn’t have to walk to school in the dark. School starts at 8:30 here, well after mommy and daddy have to be at work. Why not just start school at 9:00 a then we could leave the clocks on Daylight Savings all year?I'm definitely feeling the lack of motivation.
Getting off work and it being dark already just plain sucks. We need to abolish this setting clocks forward, setting clocks back nonsense.
It does NOT save energy. It means we all turn on our lights and big screen tv sets sooner. And what good does it do me to have it broad daylight at 7 AM? What am I going to do at 7 AM? Play 9 holes of golf? Let it be freakin' DARK at 7 AM.
