At least for me. I am at the beginning of this, so everything is reasonably new and fresh. I have partly the excitement and newness of it all to drive me, but I am still trying to perfect my technique. My aims are to get a great shave, and that's coming. However, there are so many variables, which is why it's interesting. I am amazed how much the simple act of changing (or not changing) a blade can impact on the shave. Moreover, when it does come right it feels great. So that's also an attraction – I have already had great shaves and 'meh' shaves, and I know which one I prefer. That's also where the addictive part of it comes in.
I also have the hardware side of things, which is also trial and error. I am going to play with things and some things are not going to work and some are. I like toys. :hungrig
It's just a journey, innit? And even if I found the "perfect" combination, blades would disappear, products would also appear and need trying out, etc… It just goes on and on. If it stagnated, I guess it wouldn't be quite so interesting.
What do I know?

Each theme will depend on how much time I have to carry out my shave, how I feel physically and what condition my skin is.
It's great to then be able to pull together an assortment of hardware and software which I hope will give me the best possible shave and leave my skin feeling as good as it can afterwards.
Also, there is a part of me that llikes tweaking things to find out the best combination and I find this quite true with one of my other hobbies car detailing for which I have loads of polishes, waxes, quick detailers, snow foams, microfibre cloths, etc.
