Ever since I've started DE shaving, I've discovered a strange phenomenon. One that I believe was previously unknown to man kind. It is a powerful force that takes and melds the universe around those who wet-shave.
It is the Shaving Timewarp (aka the Shaving triangle, the shavelight zone etc).
It strikes whenever you start soaking a shaving brush, and will compress time so that what to you feels like 10 minutes is actually 45.
Many days I've walked into the bathroom expecting to have a 10 minute shave, and walk out almost an hour later. My girlfriend wonders where I've gone, and what I'm doing.
Has anyone else experienced this marvel of the universe?

But I tell her if you take into account how many times she goes in to check and re-apply or adjust her makeup, she has me beat by a long shot. And then I duck!

A good Classic Shave is the odd combination of glorious self indulgence and transcendental meditation-it is experiencing the moment to the max that removes time from the equation. The time you take is the time needed-not distorted by past worry or future expectations. You can't have them every day but even glimpses are remarkably beneficial. There is also something about experiencing something with such an abvious tie to tradition-the clothes, leather goods, pens, whiskeys, etc. all seem to flow. In sum, for some of us it is the "paraphenomenon" of wet shaving that exceeds the simple value of a presentable shave!
