As per the title, today I had my first shave with a DE razor in over a month. For over a month or so I didn't shave and grew some kind of beard back which, but for a new passport photo I hacked off with clippers last week on the 8th of January and since then I've been using a BIC disposable razor/Nivea foam.
For the large part of this duration, I've been having some issues with depression and the urge to shave had largely gone and when I used the BIC/foam it was just down to getting the job done.
I've using a DE razor/wet shaving for around 2 and a half years and I found starting the day with a shave it'd have a beneficial impact irrespective of however small, there was one nonetheless. In addition I found it was a good thing to start the day with making myself be as presentable as is as possible. I find the degree of choice and variables be it different soaps, razors, blades and so on make the experience one to enjoy and not just one to partake without noticing it, like the many other tasks undertaken in the day.
I'm not entirely sure what the point of this thread is, but I think if there is one it would be state that wet shaving can be seen to be a great alternative to using carts/etc but I'd like to make the point that even if wet shaving might not make a huge difference to the state of one's mind/being it can make a slight difference and sometimes even the slightest of differences counts.
