Inexplicable sense of accomplishment. Way better shave than cartridge hands down (smoother feeling after shave, 5 o clock shadow comes several hours later, less irritation etc.) and then the weird feeling of smugness from realizing you're doing so for far less than disposable over a longer duration.
But that doesn't keep me from using an electric razor when I am feeling lazy. I would never shave my face with my eyes closed as I do with an electric razor.
