I did the straight razor thing for a while when I was young—mug, brush, the whole nine yards.
But then they invented disposable twin blade safety razors and canned shaving cream.
I also gave up my hand saw for a Skill saw, my manual typewriter for a computer, and the pitch-soaked rag on the end of a club for a flashlight.
Oh, stop.
I’m not doing this because it’s easier and/or faster.
I enjoy the experience.
