I never really think of it as a hobby, it's something what most men do ever so often.
But it's very satisfying going through the full monty of a proper shave. My wife often asks why I'm spending so much time on a shave. My response is that it's "me" pampering, and BTW if you do it slowly you're less likely to cut yourself.
I like the fact that it's a hobby that you "have" to do
Bought it 5 years ago when i switched from cart to DE shaving just to see if i still liked DE shaving.Seen a few threads recently that mention the Wilkinson Sword Classic, so decided to dig out old faithfull and give her a spin tonight.
Used an Astra SP on its second shave and Proroso Green soap. It took me back to when i started DE shaving again in 2016 as it was one of the first razors i bought. Very mild and safe shave, once you have found the angle, which isnt so easy initially because of the big plastic safety bar.
Great shave overall, but not quite as close as i would like. You have to be impressed with it for the price tho and i always much preferred it to my Feather Popular.

I've been known to shave a couple of times a day. I'm usually up and about at 0500hrs so shave before work. If I'm going out in the evening I might freshen up with another. Sometimes just another shave for the hell of it!....you get one shot at it a day and you're done....
I had one of these but it's too lightweight.Seen a few threads recently that mention the Wilkinson Sword Classic, so decided to dig out old faithfull and give her a spin tonight.
