Not to speak for ThePontificator, but I spent a decade in the military, deployed war zones a good bit, and still spend a lot of time in austere environments now that I am out. That specifically is one of the reasons I enjoy taking the time for a proper shave when I can. Just like I enjoy getting good sleep in a very large, very comfortable bed with my wife when I can. Just like I enjoy taking time to prepare good food to make an appetizing meal for my family to sit down and eat together at the table, when I can.
For me, it is restorative to take a little time to enjoy the little things in life. I don’t spend 30 minutes a day shaving, but it’s worth it to me to spend 10-20 minutes to do it right every other day. Probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m sure most others have their daily tasks that accomplish similar things.
