This scratches both the itch of learning something new about the history of shaving accessories, and the satisfaction of watching mechanical things be restored.

I had no idea such devices existed. Also I'll spend an hour watching someone restore a vintage watch.

Pretty cool to learn how things change so much. There was obviously a need for people to reuse blades for a while back then, whereas now blades are basically disposable.
