What changes has traditional wet shaving brought to your life?
Here's my story:
In the master bath that I shared with my wife, SWMBO had relagated me to about a third of a single drawer and one shelf in the medicine cabinet. No pushing or dealing on my part got me any more real estate in that room.
I was never satisfied with a shave. My beard is kinda coarse and (wildly expensive) cartridge razors never gave me a close enough shave. My control was to have a well trimmed and maintained Full Beard.
I loved my beard and my wife hated it!
There was a bit of change in my life, a change that required me to shave my prized beard. Shortly after that my son-in-law (and daughter) stayed with us and he was shaving with a straight razor. He told me how close the shave was and I was hooked.
I started traditional wet shaving and collecting vintage straights. Of course, SWMBO loved the close shave, the aftershaves, colognes, and the smell of the bathroom.
Now I have a Shave Den, and she has one shelf in the medicine cabinet.

Here's the bottom line!
I traded my well loved beard. In return received an expensive hobbie Straights, DEs, SEs, a collection of hygene products larger than my wife, the best shaves of my life, and controlling interest of the newly rechristened Shave Cave!
